Transcribed by Robin Young

Intro:  B  B/D#  Ab-  B  E  C#-7  F#  F#sus4

VERSE 1:
B                     B/D#
  Your eyes are gonna drown in your wine glass
Ab-                     B
  Your mind is skipping stones over your past
E               C#-7              F#      F#sus4
  I know better than to ask you, “Why, love?”

VERSE 2:
B                     B/D#
  When you begin to believe your own lies, then
Ab-                             B
  They'll keep swinging long as you keep fighting
E                  C#-7                  F#   F#sus4
  Until you ruin a perfectly good night, my love

CHORUS:
   E  B/D#          F#        F#sus4  F#
My love, you're not listening
   E  B/D#          F#        F#sus4  F#
My love, you're not listening
   A  E/G# E-/G     B
My love,   try listening
        E-/G                    A           B    B/D#  Ab-  F#
For the voice that's whispering to you, my love

VERSE 3: 
B                 B/D#
  Those tears are ten years old
Ab-               B
  That script has long been sold
E              C#-7
  That story’s sick of being told
        F#sus4  F#  
Say goodbye, love

VERSE 4: 
B               B/D#
  It's time you learned some new lines 
Ab-                        B
  They're already rolling ‘round in your mind
E              C#-7         F#sus4  F#
  Don't waste another life, my love

My love, you’re not listening
E         B/D#    F#

The way I wanted them to

And that’s okay with me, is it okay with you?
E         B/D#    F#
My dreams did not come true

And that’s okay with me, is it okay with you?

For the voice that's whispering to you, my love
