As recorded by Collective Soul (From the 1997 Album DISCIPLINED BREAKDOWN) [Intro] A [Verse 1]
A
Hey you're now thirsty

A
Walking in the desert all alone

A
Hey you're now searching

A
Lost in isolation from your soul

F#m             D
The bullets you bite

                  A
From the pain you request

               E           F#m
You're finding harder to digest

                       D
And the answers you seek

                   A
Are the ones you destroy

                    D
Your anger's well deployed
[Chorus]
A   B   D
Hey why can't you listen

A   B   D
Hey why can't you hear

A   B   D
Hey why can't you listen

   F            G    A
As love screams everywhere
[Verse 2]
A
Hey you now hunger

A
Feeding your mind with selfishness

A
Hey you now wander

A
Aimlessly around your consciousness

F#m             D
Your prophecies fail

                         A
And your thoughts become weak

           E           F#m
Silence creates necessity

                    D
You're clothing yourself

                    A
In the shields of despair

                 D
Your courage now impaired
[Chorus]
A   B   D
Hey why can't you listen

A   B   D
Hey why can't you hear

A   B   D
Hey why can't you listen

   F            G    A
As love screams everywhere
[Bridge]
    B
You crucify all honesty

B
No signs you see do you believe

    D
And all your words just twist and turn

D
Reviving just to crash and burn

       B
You're fighting till the bitter end

                          D
If only your heart could open up

       A
And listen
[Guitar Solo] A F#m D A E F#m D A D [Chorus]
A   B   D
Hey why can't you listen

A   B   D
Hey why can't you hear

A   B   D
Hey why can't you listen

   F            G    A
As love screams everywhere 

A   B   D
Hey why can't you listen

A   B   D
Hey why can't you hear

A   B   D
Hey why can't you listen

   F            G    A
As love screams everywhere 
[Outro] A
