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