[Verse 1]
Are you Alistening while I'm talking, or just looking at my Bmmouth?
Are you Bm7here to understand me, or just somewhere in a E7cloud?
Do you C#mrecognize my predicament, or just ruthlessly Bmignore?
Are you Bm7too young to be aware of the trouble you may E7cause
If you keep coming on Bmstrong, and if E7I choose to resApond?E7  
[Verse 2]
Your Abrother doesn't show it, but clearly he must Bmknow
Your Bm7sister must be black inside by jealousy by E7now
Our C#mcommon friends are worried for the same reasoBmn as I
But Bm7cheer me on, not knowing what riches are at E7stake
They forward me your Bmbait, but I donE7't bat that wayA  F7  
[Verse 3]
We are A#floating on the ocean on a mattress filled with Cmair
The Cm7currents and the noon-breeze bring us further from the F7shore
DmFrom the common sense police and their prying ears and Cmeyes
Cm7Away from that reality we both wish to F7deny
To a promised land of Cmblue, whether F7it's just me and A#youF#7  
[Verse 4]
Are you Bthinking what I'm thinking? Are you feeling what I C#mfeel?
Is this C#m7whole thing my invention? This attraction, is it F#7real?
Is the D#mwhole world I've been building about to come crashing C#mdown?
Or was C#m7your love sent to save me from the windmills of my F#7mind?
If I ask you, it may C#mshow; if I F#7touch you, I will Bknow
If I ask you, it may C#mshow; F#7if I touch you, I will Bknow
