Barely Listening by Pilate
Barely Listening
Em D Am G B
I lie awake on this phone call, she's dreaming of better days
Em D Am G B
Flowers lie on the counter, remind her of better days
She sends a prayer up to Jesus
And she asks him for his strength
And the night will go on bleeding
Was it faith that paid the rent?
Em
And I know you’re barely listening
D
I know you’re barely listening
Am
I know you’re barely listening
G B
Now I know you’re….
I know you’re barely listening
I know you’re barely listening
I know you’re barely listening
Now I know you’re….
Standing here in a doorway with a candle and a gun
The light tears through open windows
For now the day has won
[Repeat chorus]
E D
Like a child on her way here
A E
You just smile and run the other way
E D
And faith won’t find you a reason
A E
It just smiles and runs the other way
A E
And It just smiles….
G D
It just smiles and runs the other way
It just smiles….
It just smiles and then runs the other way
(scat singing)
It’s not worth waiting
[Repeat chorus]
you can't shape love with a hammer,
and you can't shape love with a will,
what horror lies in knowing there's no faith that chaos can't kill

Then back to the verse/chorus chords with the high guitar line over top
with some variations, except tremolo pick the bejesus out of that line
