Verse 1

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


C
Maybe you're young without youth
             Am                              F
Maybe you're old without, knowing anything's true
                        C
I think you're young without youth....


Pre-Chorus

 G                      F
Then you contract the American dream
      Am         G
You never look up once
G                   F
You've contracted American dreams
Am               G           
I require you to stop and look up.


Chorus

C      G          Am
Sing a song about myself
               F           C
Keep singing a song about myself
           G        Am       F
Not some invisible world



Verse 2 - C Am F C

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
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/i/idlewild/american_english_acoustic_crd.html ]
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

 G                    F
Then you contracted American dreams
      Am         G
You never look up once
G                   F
You've contracted American dreams
Am               G           
I require you to stop and look up.


Chorus

C      G          Am
Sing a song about myself
               F           C
Keep singing a song about myself
           G        Am       F
Not some invisible world

C      G          Am
Sing a song about myself
               F           C
Keep singing a song about myself
           G        Am       F
Not some invisible world


Bridge

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

Ending

   C     G             Am             F
You'll find, what you find when you find theres nothing x 2


End on C
