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