Josh Joplin Group - Listening
[Intro]
Am F Am F Am
[Verse 1]
F
And she lies, quietly
Am F Am
Amid her empty room
F
And probes her open heart
Am F C
To verify the wound
[Verse 2]
G
She receives the phone call
Dm G C
She rewinds the message tape
G
She walks to the window
Dm G C
Let your sweat pour down the fire escape
[Chorus]
G Am F C
I am listening to you
G Am F
I am listening to you
C G
You don't say a word
Am
You don't have to
[Interlude]
F Am F Am
[Verse 3]
F
Frozen in the hour
Am F Am
The thought of going on
F
Feels real and unreal
Am F C
Until the feelings gone
[Verse 4]
G
Like a boy who begs for bread
Dm G C
A snapshot is all there is
G
To remind us of our place
Dm G C
And return us to the hungry masses
[Chorus]
G Am F C
I am listening to you
G Am F
I am listening to you
C G
You don't say a word
[Instrumental]]
Dm Bb C Dm Bb C Dm Bb C Dm Bb C Am
Bb Am F Am F Am
[Verse 5]
F
And she lies motionless
Am F Am
Beneath the ceiling fan
F
The blades become invisible
Am F C
And she becomes entranced
[Verse 6]
G
No one knows the future
Dm G C
And no one cares about the past
G
When a star is dying
Dm G C
We all cling to what cannot last
[Outro]
G Am F G C
I am listening to you
G Am F G C
I am listening to you
G Am F G C
I am listening to you
G Am F G Am G Am
I am listening to you
