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

on our doubting days
