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

We all vowed that we wouldn't stay
