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