Idlewild
B F# G#m E
Songs when the truths are all dedicated to you
B F# G#m E
In this invisible world I chose to live in
B F# G#m
And if u believe that now I understand
E
Why words mean so much to you,
B
they’ll never be about you
B F#
Maybe your young without youth or
G#m E
Maybe your old without knowing anything’s true
B
I think your young without youth
(Bridge)
F# E G#m
Then you contract the American dream you never look up once
F# E G#m F#
You’ve contract the American dreams I require you to stop
And look up…
(Chorus)
B F# G#m E B
Sing a song about myself keep singing a song about myself
F# G#m E
Not some invisible wor———-ld
B F#
Constantly searching to find something new
G#m E
But what will you find when you think that nothing’s true
F# B
Maybe its that nothing is new
F# G#m
So you’ll let me hear songs that were written all about you
E
The greatest songs weren’t written for you
B
They’ll never be about you
(Bridge)
So don’t look up
(Chorus)x2
F# G#m B E
And I wont tell you what this means cos you already know
F# G#m B E
And I wont tell you what this means cos you already know
(Chorus)
B F# G#m E
You find what you find when you find there’s nothing
B F# G#m E B
You find what you find when you find there’s nothing
