As It Is - The end

^CNobody's listening ^CNobody's listening ^AmStraining our lungs to be ^Gheard Nobody's ^Clistening Nobody's ^Flistening ^AmLosing our way in these ^Gwords

I ^Fspill word after word like blood down ^Ama shirt Tarnished ^Gand stained forever but you Y^Fou only heard the words not ^Amthe hurt An absence ^Gof pain They don't mean a thing ^{C C}They don't mean a thing ^Am

^CNobody's ^Flistening ^FNobody's listening ^AmStraining our lungs to ^Gbe heard Nobody's ^Flistening ^FNobody's listening ^AmLosing our way in ^Gthese words

I ^Ftaste every mistake each morning ^AmI wake A breathtaki^Gng blur of colour but I I^F'm crystal clear and all yo^Amu hold dear Locked to ^Gyour chest

^GIt means that I'm d^Fesperate for the permanence (^FTo wash away indifference) ^AmIs there not some equivalence (^GTo pacify the pain) ^FCrying in unwelcome ears (^FSwallowed into perfect fears) W^Amhat's the use in firing ^Gflares (^GIf they don't mean a thing) (^GThey don't mean a thing^Am)

^C Am I awake^G, ^For am I asleep ^FIs this the end, ^Cor just another dream How can you ^Amtell, ^{G F}when you can't feel ^FWhat can't be seen, but oh my god is it real

^AmBecause I don't need you to see this ^GAnd I don't ^Fwant you to feel this ^FBut I only have so much spark to offer in all this darkness ^AmAnd I screamed for you until the day I^G gave up and lost^F my voice ^FSo with crimson arms and this broken neck ^FYou fucking tell me who made this choice!
