G#m F#
Straining our lungs to be heard
B

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

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

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

This is the end

This is the end

This is the end
E
(Nobody's listening)

(Nobody's listening)
E
This is the end!
E
This is the end!
