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

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
