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