Area 11


Tom: Bm

Bm
All aboard this sinking ship

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


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


[Chorus]
   G        D              Bm        A
So what you feel, is it nostalgia or love?
             G       D          A
Tell me now, are you really listening
               G              D
When everybody tells you to stop
                Bm         A
And that you're never good enough?
             G       D          A
Tell me now, are you really listening?
Bm             D
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
A                  D       A
Are you listening? Are you 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
A burnt taste, a real waste, 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                                           A
It's hard when all I see another ceiling I don't recognize
     G               Bm              Em          F#
With no concern, and deathless turn, now we take control


[Chorus]

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

[Solo]
Bm, Bm, G, D
G, G, A, A


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


[Interlude]
G, G, G, A
G, G, A, A



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


[Outro]
A
Oh, are you listening? (What are you listening?)
G                       D
(This was the night and this was the place)

(And this was the moment, this was the moment)
A                              G   D     A
Are you listening? Are you listening? Oh
A
(This was the night and this was the place)

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