Am G
Straining our lungs to be heard
C
Nobody's listening
F
Nobody's listening
Am G
Losing our way in these words
[Verse 1]
F Am
I spill word after word like blood down a shirt
G
Tarnished and stained forever but you
F Am
You only heard the words not the hurt
G
An absence of pain
C
They don't mean a thing
C Am
They don't mean a thing
[Chorus]

Losing our way in these words
[Verse 2]
F Am
I taste every mistake each morning I wake
G
A breathtaking blur of colour but I
F Am
I'm crystal clear and all you hold dear
G
Locked to your chest
G F
It means that I'm desperate for the permanence
F
(To wash away indifference)
Am
Is there not some equivalence
G
(To pacify the pain)
F
Crying in unwelcome ears
F
(Swallowed into perfect fears)
Am G
What's the use in firing flares
G
(If they don't mean a thing)
G Am
(They don't mean a thing)
[Chorus]

[Solo]
Am G F x2
[Bridge] (Palm mute optional)
C G
Am I awake,
F
or am I asleep
F C
Is this the end, or just another dream
Am G
How can you tell,
F
when you can't feel
F
What can't be seen, but oh my god is it real
Am
Because I don't need you to see this
G F
And I don't want you to feel this
F
But I only have so much spark to offer in all this darkness
Am G F
And I screamed for you until the day I gave up and lost my voice
F
So with crimson arms and this broken neck
F
You fucking tell me who made this choice!
[Outro]
Am G
This is the end
G F
This is the end
Am G
This is the end
G F
This is the end

(Nobody's listening)
Am
(Nobody's listening)
Am G
This is the end
G F
This is the end
F
(Nobody's listening)
Am
(Nobody's listening)
F
This is the end!
F
This is the end!
