    The Listening

This is a beautiful song by lights, I fell in love from the beginning and I
thought I'd tab it for you guys:)



STANDARD TUNING, NO CAPO
It's very important that you play the D and D/F# chords like this:
  D (xx0232@1)      D/F#|---3---|-----3--| (200232@1)|-2-----|---2----|
|---3---|-----3--|
|-------|--------|
|-------|---2----|

Strum with feeling, like a heartbeat. 


D/F# (200232@1)             
The night is deafening when the silence is listening
GAnd (320003@1)I'm down and my knees, and I know that something is missing
D/F#
Because the back of my mind is holding things I'm relying in
ABut (x02220@1)I choose to ignore it because I'm always denying them

D/F#
I'm a bit of a manic when it's not as I plan
GCause (320003@1)I start losing my head and then I get up in a panic
D/F#
Remember when we were kids and always knew when to quit it
AAre (x02220@1)we denying a crisis or are we scared of admitting

G (320003@1)                      AI (x02220@1)don't want to know

G (320003@1)                   AI (x02220@1)just want to run to you
D (xx0232@1)                                    D/F#And (200232@1)break off the chains, and throw them away
G (320003@1)                  AI (x02220@1)just want to be so much
D (xx0232@1)                                     D/F#And (200232@1)shake off the dust that turned me to rust
G (320003@1)                         ASooner (x02220@1)than later, I need a saviour
GI (320003@1)need a saviour

D/F#
It won't ever change if you want it to stay the same
GI (320003@1)really hate it but I know it's hard to choose if you're chained
D/F#
And when it's all you control cause you've got nothing left to hold
AYou're (x02220@1)getting tighter and tighter, it's getting hard to let it go

G (320003@1)                      AI (x02220@1)don't want to know


G (320003@1)                   AI (x02220@1)just want to run to you

D (xx0232@1)                                     D/F#And (200232@1)shake off the dust that turned me to rust

GI (320003@1)need a saviour

G (320003@1)                       AStand (x02220@1)me up and maybe I won't be so small
G (320003@1)                             
Free my hands a feet and maybe I won't always fall...
D/F#
