Are You Listening

Bm
All aboard this sinking ship

No business here, it's just 
relationships
G                              
Derived, contrived, another mind 
      A
homogenised
Bm
Should this mean more to me?
Just join the tribe and feel 
 D
accepted
G
But cool don't come for free
                           A
That much was expected, forever 
discontented


[Pre-Chorus 1]
G                                 
The rope that pulled me from the 
       Bm
pit now hangs around my neck
A
Is this the clue you wanted? Too 
cryptic for the rest
G                                
Play the part of the victim if it 
Bm
puts your mind at ease
    Em                             
Put all the blame on me, close your
 F#
 eyes and listen please


[Chorus]
   G        D              Bm    
So what you feel, is it nostalgia
    A
 or love?
             G       D    
Tell me now, are you really 
      A
listening
               G              D
When everybody tells you to stop
                Bm         A
And that you're never good enough?
             G       D    
Tell me now, are you really 
      A
listening?
Bm             D
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
A                  D    
Are you listening? Are you 
   A
listening?
Bm            A
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
A
Are you listening? Are you 
listening?

[Verse 2]
Bm
Reach out for help and she lets you 
down

So gild your pockets, we'll watch 
you drown
G                            
A burnt taste, a real waste, a 
                     A
sticky stain we'll soon erase
Bm
'Cause this means more to me

And we'll still look to the lights 
in the sky
     G                          
It's hard when all I see another 
                 A
ceiling I don't recognize
     G               Bm           
With no concern, and deathless 
   Em          F#
turn, now we take control


[Chorus]

   G        D              Bm    
So what you feel, is it nostalgia
    A
 or love?
             G       D    
Tell me now, are you really 
      A
listening
               G              D
When everybody tells you to stop
                Bm         A
And that you're never good enough?
             G       D    
Tell me now, are you really 
      A
listening?
Bm             D
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
A                  D    
Are you listening? Are you 
   A
listening?
G             D
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
F#m                F#   
Are you listening? Are you 
          Bm
listening?

[Breakdown]
D
As we pass by tonight
D
We fade into hindsight
D
The time slips off our lives
D
Can this be realised?

When everybody tells you to stop

And that you're never good enough?

Tell me now, are you really 
 A
listening?

A
Oh, are you listening? (What are you
 listening?)
G                       D

 place)

(And this was the moment, this was 
the moment)
A                        
Are you listening? Are you

listening?
