“You’re Not Listening”- The Rescues
Transcribed by Robin Young
Intro:
VERSE 1:
Your eyes are gonna drown in your wine glass
Ab- B
Your mind is skipping stones over your past
I know better than to ask you, “Why, love?”
VERSE 2:
When you begin to believe your own lies, then
Ab- B
They'll keep swinging long as you keep fighting
Until you ruin a perfectly good night, my love
CHORUS:
My love, you're not listening
My love, you're not listening
My love, try listening
For the voice that's whispering to you, my love
VERSE 3:
Those tears are ten years old
Ab- B
That script has long been sold
That story’s sick of being told
Say goodbye, love
VERSE 4:
It's time you learned some new lines
Ab- B
They're already rolling ‘round in your mind
Don't waste another life, my love
(CHORUS)
INTERLUDE:
CHORUS/OUTRO:
My love
My love
My love, you’re not listening
My love, you’re not listening
My dreams did not come true
The way I wanted them to
And that’s okay with me, is it okay with you?
My dreams did not come true
The way I wanted them to
And that’s okay with me, is it okay with you?
My love, try listening
E- A B
For the voice that's whispering to you, my love
