Chords
This is in the same key as the acoustic version you can download off of
KEXP Seattle's website.
[Verse 1]
G Em Songs when they're true, are all dedicated to you C 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 D 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 x2)
[Middle Part]
D Em G C 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 G D Em C You'll find, what you find when you find there's nothing
G
