[Verse 1]
Em
All aboard this sinking ship
No business here, it's just relationships
C D
Derived, contrived, another mind homogenised
Em
Should this mean more to me?
G
Just join the tribe and feel accepted
C
But cool don't come for free
D
That much was expected, forever discontented
[Pre-Chorus 1]
C Em
The rope that pulled me from the pit now hangs around my neck
D
Is this the clue you wanted? Too cryptic for the rest
C Em
Play the part of the victim if it puts your mind at ease
Am B
Put all the blame on me, close your eyes and listen please
[Chorus]
C G Em D
So what you feel, is it nostalgia or love?
C G D
Tell me now, are you really listening
C G
When everybody tells you to stop
Em D
And that you're never good enough?
C G D
Tell me now, are you really listening?
Em G
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
D G D
Are you listening? Are you listening?
Em D
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
D
Are you listening? Are you listening?
[Verse 2]
Em
Reach out for help and she lets you down
So gild your pockets, we'll watch you drown
C D
D burnt taste, a real waste, a sticky stain we'll soon erase
Em
'Cause this means more to me
And we'll still look to the lights in the sky
C D
It's hard when all I see another ceiling I don't recognize
C Em Am B
With no concern, and deathless turn, now we take control
[Chorus]
C G Em D
So what you feel, is it nostalgia or love?
C G D
Tell me now, are you really listening
C G
When everybody tells you to stop
Em D
And that you're never good enough?
C G D
Tell me now, are you really listening?
Em G
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
D G D
Are you listening? Are you listening?
C G
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
Bm B Em
Are you listening? Are you listening?
[Solo]
Bm, Bm, G, G
G, G, D, A
[Breakdown]
G
As we pass by tonight
G
We fade into hindsight
G
The time slips off our lives
G
Can this be realised?
[Interlude]
G, G, G, D
G, G, D, A
[Chorus]
C G Em D
So what you feel, is it nostalgia or love?
C G D
Tell me now, are you really listening
Em D
When everybody tells you to stop
C B
And that you're never good enough?
C D
Tell me now, are you really listening?
[Outro]
D
Oh, are you listening? (What are you listening?)
C G
(This was the night and this was the place)
(And this was the moment, this was the moment)
D C G D
Are you listening? Are you listening? Oh
D
(This was the night and this was the place)
(And this was the moment, this was the moment)
D Em
Are you listening? Are you listening?
