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