[Verse]
F
This town will never change
C
People come and go, it's all the same
F
Speed the roads on our doubting days
C
To any place that's far away
[Verse]
F
I never learned anybody's name
C
We all vowed that we wouldn't stay
F
Kissing signs on the interstate
C
All we do for now is sit and wait
[Pre-Chorus]
F C
Ah, In our idle town.
F C
Ah, in our idle town.
[Chorus]
Dm C
Yeah, we invent our own little games
(in our idle town)
Dm C
When the lights out at the stadium, hey
(in our idle town)
Dm C
Making life a spinning arcade
(in our idle town)
F C F C
And curfew's at midnight, we watch the sunrise
F C
We watch the sunrise
We watch the sun
[Verse]
F
Springtime when the air is thin
C
We're getting antsy and they're noticing
F
While everybody's off partying
C
We're watching stars over ice-cream
[Verse]
F
And now we're kicking up to seventh gear
C
And we're breathing in the atmosphere
F
And I don't even need a sip of beer
C
Yeah I can feel it all
[Pre-Chorus]
F C
Ah, In our idle town.
F C
Ah, in our idle town.
[Chorus]
Dm C
Yeah, we invent our own little games
(in our idle town)

When the lights out at the stadium, hey
(in our idle town)
Dm C
Making life a spinning arcade
(in our idle town)
F C F C
And curfew's at midnight, we watch the sunrise
F C
We watch the sunrise
We watch the sun
[Bridge]
F C
And they watched the sunrise
F C F
Blinking out of red eyes, and sore minds
C F
The airplanes keep flying by, and they cry
C F
'Cause they've never even touched the sky
C
No, they'll never even touch the sky
[Chorus]
Dm C
Yeah, we invent our own little games
(in our idle town)
F C
And everybody's trying to escape
(in our idle town)
F C F
Killing time at the yellow café
(in our idle town)
C
And curfew's at midnight
(in our idle town)
[Outro]
F C
Yeah I think that we'll all be okay
(in our idle town)
F C
The idle town will stay as it stays
(in our idle town)
F C
And everyone I love's in this place
(in our idle town)
F C
So curfew's at midnight
We watch the sunrise
[Verse]
F
This town will never change
People come and go,
C
it's all the same
Speed the roads

on our doubting days

To any place that's far away
