Verse 1

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


Verse 2
G G
Maybe you're young without youth
Em Em C C
Maybe you're old without, knowing anything's true
G G
I think you're young without youth....


Pre Chorus - drums begin, riff stops.

D D C C
Then you contract the American dream
Em Em D D
You never look up once
DV C C
You've contracted American dreams
Em Em D D (slide up to G G)
I require you to stop and look up.


Chorus

G G D D Em Em
Sing a song about myself
C C G G
Keep singing a song about myself
D D Em Em C 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 D C C Em Em D 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 G D D Em Em C C
You came along and found the weak spot - that you've always wanted
G G D D Em Em C C
Let yourself be everything that you've always wanted
(While this is sung - the chorus is sung)
G G D D Em Em C C
It doesn't have to be so silent - that you've always wanted
G G D D Em Em C C
No need for explanations - that you've always wanted

Ending

G G D D Em Em C C
You'll find, what you find when you find there's nothing (x 2)


End on a G G
