Do you hear me
A
Do you care
        G
Do you hear me
 F#m        D
Do you care

[Verse 1]
A
My lips are moving and the sound's coming out
A
The words are audible but I have my doubts
               E
That you realize

               D
what has been said
A
You look at me as if you're in a daze
A
It's like the feeling at the end of the page
               E
When you realize
                           D
you don't know what you just read

F#  B

[Chorus]
         B
What are words for
     A      E         B
When no one listens anymore -  What are words for
     A      E         B
When no one listens         -  What are words for
     A      E
When no one listens
     C       G          E         E
It's no use talkin’ at all

[Verse 2]
A
I might as well go up and talk to a wall
A
'cause all the words are having no effect at all
E
It's a funny thing
D
am I all alone
A
Something has to happen to change the direction
A
What little filters through is giving you the wrong impression
E
It's a sorry state
D           F#m
I say to myself

[Chorus]
         B
What are words for
     A      E         B
When no one listens anymore -  What are words for
     A      E         B
When no one listens         -  What are words for
     A      E
When no one listens
     C       G          E         E
It's no use talkin’ at all

[intro reprise]
A
Do you hear me
A
Do you care
        G
Do you hear me
 F#m        D
Do you care

[Break] (16 bars)

B  F#  D  A
Let me get by
Over your dead body
B  F#  D  A
Hope to see you soon
When will I know
B  F#  D  A
Doors three feet wide with no locks open
Walking always backwards in the faces of strangers
Time could be my friend
B  F#  D  A
But it's less than nowhere now
Less than nowhere now
Less than nowhere now
Now
E
Ow ow ow

[Verse 3]
A
Pursue it further and another thing you'll find
A
Not only are they deaf and dumb they could be going blind and
E
no one notices
              D
I think I'll dye my hair blue
A
Media overload bombarding you with action
A
It's getting near impossible to cause distraction
E
Someone answer me
D
before I pull out the plug
F#

[Chorus]
         B
What are words for
     A      E         B
When no one listens anymore -  What are words for
     A      E         B
When no one listens         -  What are words for
     A      E
When no one listens
     C       G          E         F#
It's no use talkin’ at all

[Chorus]
         B
What are words for
     A      E         B
When no one listens anymore -  What are words for
     A      E         B
When no one listens         -  What are words for
     A      E
When no one listens
     C       G          E         E
It's no use talkin’ at all
