[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]
Em D
Yeah, we invent our own little games
(in our idle town)
Em D
When the lights out at the stadium, hey
(in our idle town)
Em 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]
Em D
Yeah, we invent our own little games
(in our idle town)
Em D
When the lights out at the stadium, hey
(in our idle town)
Em 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]
Em 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

To any place that's far away
