Verse 1:
This town will [C]never change
People come and go, it's[G] all the same
Speed the roads on our [C]doubting days
To any place that's [G]far away
I never learned [C]anybody's name
We all vowed that [G]we wouldn't stay
Kissing signs on the [C]interstate
All we do for now is [G]sit and wait
Pre-Chorus:
[C]Ah, In our idle [G]town. [C]Ah, in our idle [G]town
Chorus:
Yeah, [Am]we invent our own little [G]games (in our idle town)
When [Am]the lights out at the [G]stadium, hey (in our idle town)
Making[Am] life a spinning arcade ([G]in our idle town)
And [C]curfew's at midnight, [G]we watch the sunrise[C]
[G]We watch the sunrise[C]
[G]We watch the sun
Verse 2:
Springtime when the [C]air is thin
We're getting antsy and they're[G] noticing
While everybody's off [C]partying
We're watching stars over [G]ice-cream
And now we're kicking up to [C]seventh gear
And we're breathing in the [G]atmosphere
And I don't even need a [C]sip of beer
Yeah I can feel [G]it all
Pre-Chorus:
[C]Ah, In our idle [G]town. [C]Ah, in our idle [G]town
Chorus:
Yeah, [Am]we invent our own little [G]games (in our idle town)
When [Am]the lights out at the [G]stadium, hey (in our idle town)
Making[Am] life a spinning arcade ([G]in our idle town)
And [C]curfew's at midnight, [G]we watch the sunrise[C]
[G]We watch the sunrise[C]
[G]We watch the sun
Bridge:
[C] And they watched [G]the sunrise
Blinking out of red [C]eyes, and [G]sore minds
[C] The airplanes keep [G]flying by, and they [C]cry
'Cause they've never even [G]touched the sky
[C] No, they'll never even [G]touch the sky
Chorus:
Yeah [C]we invent our own little [G]games (in our idle town)
And e[C]verybody's trying to [G]escape (in our idle town)
[C]Killing time at the [G]yellow café (in our idle town)
[C] And curfew's at midnight [G](in our idle town)
Outro:
Yeah[C] I think that we'll all be[G] okay (in our idle town)
The [C]idle town will stay as it[G] stays (in our idle town)
And[C] everyone I love's in this[G] place (in our idle town)
[C]So curfew's at midnight
[G] We watch the sunrise
This town will [C]never change
People come and go, it's[G] all the same
Speed the roads on our [C]doubting days
To any place that's [G]far away
I never learned [C]anybody's name
We all vowed that [G]we wouldn't stay
Kissing signs on the [C]interstate
All we do for now is [G]sit and wait
