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

Nobody's listening
A#m G#
Straining our lungs to be heard

A#m G#
Losing our way in these words
[Verse 2]
F# A#m
I taste every mistake each morning I wake
G#
A# breathtaking blur of colour but I
F# A#m
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)
A#m
Is there not some equivalence
G#
(To pacify the pain)
F#
Crying in unwelcome ears
F#
(Swallowed into perfect fears)
A#m G#
What's the use in firing flares
G#
(If they don't mean a thing)
G# A#m
(They don't mean a thing)
[Chorus]

Losing our way in these words
[Solo]
A#m G# F# x2
[Bridge] (Palm mute optional)
C# G#
A#m I awake,
F#
or am I asleep
F# C#
Is this the end, or just another dream
A#m G#
How can you tell,
F#
when you can't feel
F#
What can't be seen, but oh my god is it real
A#m
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
A#m 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]
A#m G#
This is the end
G# F#
This is the end
A#m G#
This is the end
G# F#
This is the end
F#
(Nobody's listening)
A#m
(Nobody's listening)
A#m G#
This is the end
G# F#
This is the end
F#
(Nobody's listening)
A#m
(Nobody's listening)
F#
This is the end!
F#
This is the end!
