Idlewild - American English
B Abm
Songs when the truth are all dedicated to you
E B
In this invisible world I choose to live in
B Abm
And if you believe that for now I understand
E
Why words mean so much to you
B
They'll never be about you
B
Maybe you're young without youth
Abm E
Maybe you're old without knowing anything's true
B
I think you're young without youth
F# E
Then you contract the American dream
Abm F#
You never look up once
F# E
You've contracted American dreams
Abm F#
I require you to stop and look up.
Chorus:
B F#
Sing a song about myself
Abm E
Keep singing a song about myself
B F# Abm E
Not some invisible world
Repeat chords for remaining verses
Constantly searching to find something new
But what will you find when you think that nothing's true
Maybe it's that nothing is new
So you let me hear songs that were written all about you
Because songs weren't written for you
They'll never be about you
Bridge:
Then you contract the American dream
You never look up once
You've contracted American dreams
You never look up once, so don't look up
Chorus:
Sing a song about myself
Keep singing a song about myself
Not some invisible world
Sing a song about myself
Keep singing a song about myself
Not some invisible world
F# E Abm F#
I won't tell you what this means, cause you already know
F# E Abm F#
I won't tell you what this means, cause you already know
Chorus:
Sing a song about myself
Keep singing a song about myself
Not some invisible world
Sing a song about myself
Keep singing a song about myself
Not some invisible world
(so you came along and found the weak spot that you've always wanted?)
