I Want To Listen

by The Beths

337
[Verse 1]
   A       Amaj7     A7        F#7
I rest my case in a bed unmade
     Bm
The headboard strained
           E            Bm    Bb      A
Under the weight of my memory of the day
     Amaj7
So crammed
         A7        F#7
Getting low on RAM
         Bm
Getting high on strife
  Bm
Stock is overflowing
        Dm
Do you wish that you could throw it in?
 
 
[Chorus]
  F#m    F
Why
        A     B
Do you like
       E
To be mine?
 
 
[Verse 2]
            A     Amaj7
'Cause I'm late again
    A7   F#7
To realising
      Bm
The spiral turns
             E
So steadily down
         Bm        Bb
There's no getting out
   A         Amaj7
Unless you quit
     A7     F#7
Zoom out a bit
    Bm
Uncross your eyes
    Bm
It ruins the illusion
          Dm
But it's well worth the losing
 
 
[Chorus]
  F#m    F
Why
        A     B
Do you like
           E
To still try?
 
 
[Instrumental]
E  E  E  E
E  E  E  E
 
 
[Verse 3]
    A        Amaj7
My love, my dear
          A7       F#7
It's been quite a year
            Bm
It's been quiet and loud
              E
Laughter and tears
 Bm          Bb
Courage and fear
       A       Amaj7
But I can't allow
      A7        F#7
This furrowed brow
           Bm
And these borrowed blues
                E        Bm       Bb
To keep washing out the delicate sounds
    A    Amaj7    A7    F#7    Bm
Of you
 
 
[Outro]
   Bm                         Dm                A
So if you want to whisper I swear I want to listen
              I rest my case in a bed unmade
The headboard strained
Under the weight of my memory of the day
So crammed
Getting low on RAM
Getting high on strife
Stock is overflowing
Do you wish that you could throw it in?

Why do you like to be mine?

'Cause I'm late again
To realising
The spiral turns
So steadily down
There's no getting out
Unless you quit
Zoom out a bit
Uncross your eyes
It ruins the illusion
But it's well worth the losing

Why do you like to still try?

My love, my dear
It's been quite a year
It's been quiet and loud
Laughter and tears
Courage and fear
But I can't allow
This furrowed brow
And these borrowed blues
To keep washing out the delicate sounds
Of you

So if you want to whisper I swear I want to listen
