[Verse 1]

A          A         E
  Have you ever laid around
      E         F#m
Until 2 or 3 or 4?
         F#m          D
Have you ever gone to bed
         D             A
With a musician type before?
          A            E
You don't act like you have,
              E            F#m
And you don't act like you would,
      F#m                D
And I hear it ain't half bad,
                         A
But you know it can't be good.

            A                 E
When you're locked up in your room
            E                  F#m
When you're chained up to your floor
         F#m             D
When you practice in the hall
          D            A
I hold my ear up to my door
           A                  E
And I hear all the things you sing
       E                  F#m
I hear all the things you say
           F#m            D
And if you never write it down
               D                A
Then you don't have to act this way

         A            E
When you come into my room
         E             F#m
When you see me on the floor
         F#m            D
When you pa** me in the hall
       D                 A
Do you think that I want more?
       A                   E
Do you think you stare too hard?
       E            F#m
Do you think that I mind?
       F#m             D
Do you think i'm gonna answer myself
D           A
In the next line?
A  E
Ahahey
E         F#m F#m
No f**in' way!
        D       D
But hey anyway, every day

[Chorus]

A
I have been listening
E
Oh, I have been listening
F#m
Oh, I have been listening
D
Like oh, I have been listening
A
Oh, I have been listening
E
Oh, I have been listening
F#m
Like oh, I have been listening
D                                     A
Like oh I have been listening to you!

[Verse 2]

        A                E
And she swore I couldn't speak
        E               F#m
And she knew I couldn't dance
        F#m            D
And she told me not to fret
        D                A
And she called it circumstance
        A               E
And she kissed me in my car
     E                 F#m
So I drove right off a cliff
   F#m           D
I awoke to my guitar
      D               A
And I started writing this

          A               E
And I was locked up in my room
      E                F#m
I was chained up to my floor
      F#m                 D
I was strapped down to my bed
              D              A
You held your ear against my door
              A                E
And you heard all the chords I tried
            E              F#m
And all the words I didn't use
         F#m            D
And if I never write it down
             D           A
Then I don't have to act confused!

       A              E
When I come into your room
       E              F#m
When I see you on the floor
       F#m             D
When I pass you in the hall
        D              A
I don't know if I want more
        A           E
I don't know if you stare
            E         F#m
And I don't know if I mind
        F#m             D 
I don't think I'm gonna answer myself
D               A       A
By the time I'm done 
          E
with this song
E               F#m   F#m
And it's f**in' wrong
        D
But hey anyway,
    D            A
Now you can sing along


[Chorus]

A
I have been listening
E
Oh, I have been listening
F#m
Oh, I have been listening
D
Like oh, I have been listening
A
Oh, I have been listening
E
Oh, I have been listening
F#m
Like oh, I have been listening
D                                     A 
Like oh I have been listening to you!

[Bridge]

A  E  F#m  D

A                        E
  I met you in a bathroom
                         F#m
It doesn't matter what I saw
                         D
It doesn't matter what I felt
                         A
It doesn't matter what I thought

I met you in a bathroom
E                            F#m
And did you tell your mother that?
                            D
I swear you tell that woman everything!
                     A  
Now there's no going back
       A              E
'Cause if your mother hates me,
E                 F#m
Then so does your family
F#m            D
If your family hates me,
D                     A
All your friends must too
    A                   E
And if all your friends hate me,
E               F#m
You could never date me.
F#m            D
If you'd never date me,
     D                A
This love would never do!

[Verse 3]

A          A         E
  Have you ever laid around
      E         F#m
Until 2 or 3 or 4?
         F#m          D
Have you ever gone to bed
         D             A
With a musician type before?
          A            E
You don't act like you have,
              E            F#m
And you don't act like you would,
      F#m                D
And I hear we ain't half bad,
                         A
But you know it can't be good.

                A                 E
And you've been locked up in your room
              E         F#m
And I've been listening
                F#m                D
And you've been chained up to your floor
                D         A
And I have been listening
             A               E
And when you practice in the stairs
            E         F#m
I have been listening
                F#m             D
'Cause when you sing outside my door
            D
I have been listening

A                                     E
'Cause you've been chained up to your room
                        F#m
And I've been listening
                                  D
And you've been locked up in your floor
                          A
And I have been listening
                              E
And you don't have to say the right thing
          F#m
I've been listening
          D                A  E  F#m  D (2x)
You don't have to speak at all

[Outro]

A             A            E
Did I mention she had a girlfriend?
   E
Oh yeah, she had a-
F#m           F#m         D
Did I mention he had a girlfriend?
   D
Oh yeah, he had a-
A             A            E
Did I mention she had a girlfriend?
   E
Oh yeah, she had a-
F#m            F#m           D         D
Oh my god they always have girlfriends!
