IDLEWILD - AMERICAN ENGLISH
Capo on Fret 4
Verse 1
G Em
Songs when they're true, are all dedicated to you

In this invisible world I choose to live in
G Em
And if you believe that for now I understand
C
Why words mean so much to you
G
They'll never be about you
Verse 2
G
Maybe you're young without youth
Em C
Maybe you're old without, knowing anything's true
G
I think you're young without youth....
Pre Chorus - drums begin, riff stops.
D C
Then you contract the American dream
Em D
You never look up once
DV C
You've contracted American dreams
Em D (slide up to G)
I require you to stop and look up.
Chorus
G D Em
Sing a song about myself
C G
Keep singing a song about myself
D Em C
Not some invisible world
Verse 3 - same chords as above
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
Verse 4
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
(Pre Chorus)
(Chorus x 2)
Middle Part
D C Em D
And I won't tell you what this means, cause you already know
And I won't tell you what this means, cause you already know...
Sooo, Sing a song about myself
Keep singing a song about myself
Not some invisible world
G D Em C
You came along and found the weak spot - that you've always wanted
G D Em C
Let yourself be everything that you’ve always wanted
(While this is sung - the chorus is sung)
G D Em C
It doesn’t have to be so silent - that you've always wanted
G D Em C
No need for explanations - that you've always wanted
Ending
G D Em C
You'll find, what you find when you find there’s nothing (x 2)
End on A G
