Idlewild - American English guitar chord

American English

Verse- B /Abm /E/B (C/Am/F/C with guitar tuned down 1/2 step)

Songs when the(y're) truth are all dedicated to you

In this invisible world I choose to live in

And if you believe that for now I understand

Why words mean so much to you

They'll never be about you

Maybe you're young without youth

Maybe you're old without knowing anything's true

I think you're young without youth

Bridge- F# /E /Abm/F# x2 (G/F/Am/G)

Then you contract the American dream

You never look up once

You've contracted American dreams

I require you to stoop and look up.

Chorus- B/F# /Abm/F# x2 (C/G/Am/G)

Sing a song about myself

Keep singing a song about myself

Not some invisible world

As Verse

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 2

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

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

Middle Bit- F#/E/Abm/F# x2 (G/F/Am/G)

I won't tell you what this means, cause you already know

I won't tell you what this means, cause you already know

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?)
