Tone [G]
===
Verse 1:
This town will [C] never change
People come and go, it's[G] all the same
Speed the roads on our [C] doubting days
To any place that's [G] far away
I never learned [C] anybody's name
We all vowed that [G] we wouldn't stay
Kissing signs on the [C] interstate
All we do for now is [G] sit and wait
Pre-Chorus:
[C] Ah, In our idle [G] town. [C] Ah, in our idle [G] town
Chorus:
Yeah, [Am] we invent our own little [G] games (in our idle town)
When [Am] the lights out at the [G] stadium, hey (in our idle town)
Making[Am] life a spinning arcade ([G] in our idle town)
And [C] curfew's at midnight, [G] we watch the sunrise[C]
[G] We watch the sunrise[C]
[G] We watch the sun
Verse 2:
Springtime when the [C] air is thin
We're getting antsy and they're[G] noticing
While everybody's off [C] partying
We're watching stars over [G] ice-cream
And now we're kicking up to [C] seventh gear
And we're breathing in the [G] atmosphere
And I don't even need a [C] sip of beer
Yeah I can feel [G] it all
Pre-Chorus:
[C] Ah, In our idle [G] town. [C] Ah, in our idle [G] town
Chorus:
Yeah, [Am] we invent our own little [G] games (in our idle town)
When [Am] the lights out at the [G] stadium, hey (in our idle town)
Making[Am] life a spinning arcade ([G] in our idle town)
And [C] curfew's at midnight, [G] we watch the sunrise[C]
[G] We watch the sunrise[C]
[G] We watch the sun
Bridge:
[C] And they watched [G] the sunrise
Blinking out of red [C] eyes, and [G] sore minds
[C] The airplanes keep [G] flying by, and they [C] cry
'Cause they've never even [G] touched the sky
[C] No, they'll never even [G] touch the sky
Chorus:
Yeah [C] we invent our own little [G] games (in our idle town)
And e[C] verybody's trying to [G] escape (in our idle town)
[C] Killing time at the [G] yellow café (in our idle town)
[C] And curfew's at midnight [G] (in our idle town)
Outro:
Yeah[C] I think that we'll all be[G] okay (in our idle town)
The [C] idle town will stay as it[G] stays (in our idle town)
And[C] everyone I love's in this[G] place (in our idle town)
[C] So curfew's at midnight
[G] We watch the sunrise
