Verse 1

B B Abm Abm
Songs when they're true, are all dedicated to you
E E
In this invisible world I choose to live in
B B Abm Abm
And if you believe that for now I understand
E E
Why words mean so much to you
B B
They'll never be about you


Verse 2
B B
Maybe you're young without youth
Abm Abm E E
Maybe you're old without, knowing anything's true
B B
I think you're young without youth....


Pre Chorus - drums begin, riff stops.

F# F# E E
Then you contract the American dream
Abm Abm F# F#
You never look up once
F# F# E E
You've contracted American dreams
Abm Abm F# F# (slide up to B B)
I require you to stop and look up.


Chorus

B B F# F# Abm Abm
Sing a song about myself
E E B B
Keep singing a song about myself
F# F# Abm Abm E E
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 Bit

F# F# E E Abm Abm F# F#
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.......

So - Sing a song about myself
Keep singing a song about myself
Not some invisible world


B B F# F# Abm Abm E E
You came along and found the weak spot - that you've always wanted
B B F# F# Abm Abm E E
Let yourself be everything that youve always wanted
B B F# F# Abm Abm E E
It doesnt have to be so silent - that you've always wanted
B B F# F# Abm Abm E E
no need for explanations - that you've always wanted

Ending

B B F# F# Abm Abm E E
You'll find, what you find when you find theres nothing x 2


End on a B B
