American English — Idlewild
Chords and lyrics for American English by Idlewild (key of E).
Verse 1
Great new song. Not sure about the words at the end, but close enough.
OKay here is the verse riff
Verse(with riff)
Songs when the truth are all dedicated to you
In this invisible world I choose to live in
And if you [B]believe that then now I [G#m]understand
Why words mean so much to [E]you, they'll never be about[B] you.
Maybe your [B]young without youth, maybe your [G#m]old without
Knowing anything's [E]true, I think your young without [B]youth
Pre-Chorus
[F#]Then you contract the [E]American dream, [G#m]and never look up [F#]once
[F#]You've contracted [E]American dreams, I [G#m]recquire you to [F#]stop and look up
Chorus
[B]Sing a [F#]song about myself, [G#m]keep singing a [E]song about myself
[B]not some [F#]invisible [G#m][E]world
[B]Sing a [F#]song about myself, [G#m]keep singing a [E]song about myself
[B]not some [F#]invisible [G#m][E]world
Constantly searching to find something new
Bu 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
The good songs weren't written for you, and they'll never be about you
Pre-Chorus (as before add "don't look up" at the end)
Chorus (as before)
Bridge
ANd I [F#]won't tell you what[G#m] this means, Cos[B] you already [E]know
ANd I [F#]won't tell you what[G#m] this means, Cos[B] you already [E]know so
Chorus
Ending (chorus chords)
(with backing vocals singing chorus)
You came along with a weak spot that you've always wanted
Let yourself be everything that you've always wanted
It doesn't have to be so excited, that you've always wanted
No need for explanations, you've always wanted
You'll find what you find when you find there's nothing
You'll find what you find when you find there's nothing
any mistakes, correct them yourself,I've done enough
Love Rob
