[Verse 1]
BmAll aboard this sinking ship
No business here, it's just relationships
GDerived, contrived, another mind homoAgenised
BmShould this mean more to me?
Just join the tribe and feel aDccepted
GBut cool don't come for free
That much was expected, forAever discontented
[Pre-Chorus 1]
GThe rope that pulled me from the pit now Bmhangs around my neck
AIs this the clue you wanted? Too cryptic for the rest
GPlay the part of the victim if it Bmputs your mind at ease
Put Emall the blame on me, close your F#eyes and listen please
[Chorus]
So Gwhat you Dfeel, is it nosBmtalgia or Alove?
Tell me now, Gare you Dreally listAening
When everybody Gtells you to stDop
And that you're Bmnever good Aenough?
Tell me now, Gare you Dreally listAening?
BmWhoa, oh, oh, wDhoa, oh, oh
AAre you listening? DAre you Alistening?
BmWhoa, oh, oh, Awhoa, oh, oh
AAre you listening? Are you listening?
[Verse 2]
BmReach out for help and she lets you down
So gild your pockets, we'll watch you drown
GA burnt taste, a real waste, a sticky stain we'll Asoon erase
Bm'Cause this means more to me
And we'll still look to the lights in the sky
It's Ghard when all I see another ceiling I don't Arecognize
With Gno concern, and Bmdeathless turn, Emnow we take F#control
[Chorus]
So Gwhat you Dfeel, is it nosBmtalgia or Alove?
Tell me now, Gare you Dreally listAening
When everybody Gtells you to stDop
And that you're Bmnever good Aenough?
