[Verse 1]
AAE
Have you ever laid around
EF#m
Until 2 or 3 or 4?
F#mD
Have you ever gone to bed
DA
With a musician type before?
AE
You don't act like you have,
EF#m
And you don't act like you would,
F#mD
And I hear it ain't half bad,
A
But you know it can't be good.
AE
When you're locked up in your room
EF#m
When you're chained up to your floor
F#mD
When you practice in the hall
DA
I hold my ear up to my door
AE
And I hear all the things you sing
EF#m
I hear all the things you say
F#mD
And if you never write it down
DA
Then you don't have to act this way
AE
When you come into my room
EF#m
When you see me on the floor
F#mD
When you pa** me in the hall
DA
Do you think that I want more?
AE
Do you think you stare too hard?
EF#m
Do you think that I mind?
F#mD
Do you think i'm gonna answer myself
DA
In the next line?
AE
Ahahey
EF#mF#m
No f**in' way!
DD
But hey anyway, every day
[Chorus]
A
I have been listening
E
Oh, I have been listening
F#m
Oh, I have been listening
D
Like oh, I have been listening
A
Oh, I have been listening
E
Oh, I have been listening
F#m
Like oh, I have been listening
DA
Like oh I have been listening to you!
[Verse 2]
AE
And she swore I couldn't speak
EF#m
And she knew I couldn't dance
F#mD
And she told me not to fret
DA
And she called it circumstance
AE
And she kissed me in my car
EF#m
So I drove right off a cliff
F#mD
I awoke to my guitar
DA
And I started writing this
AE
And I was locked up in my room
EF#m
I was chained up to my floor
F#mD
I was strapped down to my bed
DA
You held your ear against my door
AE
And you heard all the chords I tried
EF#m
And all the words I didn't use
F#mD
And if I never write it down
DA
Then I don't have to act confused!
AE
When I come into your room
EF#m
When I see you on the floor
F#mD
When I pass you in the hall
DA
I don't know if I want more
AE
I don't know if you stare
EF#m
And I don't know if I mind
F#mD
I don't think I'm gonna answer myself
DAA
By the time I'm done
E
with this song
EF#mF#m
And it's f**in' wrong
D
But hey anyway,
DA
Now you can sing along
[Chorus]
A
I have been listening
E
Oh, I have been listening
F#m
Oh, I have been listening
D
Like oh, I have been listening
A
Oh, I have been listening
E
Oh, I have been listening
F#m
Like oh, I have been listening
DA
Like oh I have been listening to you!
[Bridge]
AEF#mDAE
I met you in a bathroom
F#m
It doesn't matter what I saw
D
It doesn't matter what I felt
A
It doesn't matter what I thought
I met you in a bathroom
EF#m
And did you tell your mother that?
D
I swear you tell that woman everything!
A
Now there's no going back
AE
'Cause if your mother hates me,
EF#m
Then so does your family
F#mD
If your family hates me,
DA
All your friends must too
AE
And if all your friends hate me,
EF#m
You could never date me.
F#mD
If you'd never date me,
DA
This love would never do!
[Verse 3]
AAE
Have you ever laid around
EF#m
Until 2 or 3 or 4?
F#mD
Have you ever gone to bed
DA
With a musician type before?
AE
You don't act like you have,
EF#m
And you don't act like you would,
F#mD
And I hear we ain't half bad,
A
But you know it can't be good.
AE
And you've been locked up in your room
EF#m
And I've been listening
F#mD
And you've been chained up to your floor
DA
And I have been listening
AE
And when you practice in the stairs
EF#m
I have been listening
F#mD
'Cause when you sing outside my door
D
I have been listening
AE
'Cause you've been chained up to your room
F#m
And I've been listening
D
And you've been locked up in your floor
A
And I have been listening
E
And you don't have to say the right thing
F#m
I've been listening
DAEF#mD (2x)
You don't have to speak at all
[Outro]
AAE
Did I mention she had a girlfriend?
E
Oh yeah, she had a-
