 Verse 1
 
  B                                   Abm         
 Songs when they're true, are all dedicated to you
            E                               
 In this invisible world I choose to live in
  B                                  Abm     
 And if you believe that for now I understand
                       E      
 Why words mean so much to you
                    B      
 They'll never be about you
 
 Verse 2
 B                               
 Maybe you're young without youth
              Abm                              E  
 Maybe you're old without, knowing anything's true
                         B             
 I think you're young without youth....
 
 Pre Chorus - drums begin, riff stops.
 
  F#                      E          
 Then you contract the American dream
       Abm         F#  
 You never look up once
 F#                  E            
 You've contracted American dreams
 Abm F# (slide up to B)
 I require you to stop and look up.
 
 Chorus
 
 B      F#          Abm  
 Sing a song about myself
                E           B    
 Keep singing a song about myself
            F#       Abm E 
 Not some invisible world
 
 (guitar 1 plays riff again)
 
 Verse 3 - same chords as above
 
 Constantly searching to find something new
 But what will you find when you think that nothing's true?
 Maybe it's that nothing is new
 
 Verse 4
 
 So you let me hear songs that were written all about you
 Because songs weren't written for you
 They'll never be about you
 
 Pre Chorus
 
 Chorus x 2
 
 Middle Bit
 
 F#                         E                  Abm        F# 
 And I won't tell you what this means, cause you already know
 And I won't tell you what this means, cause you already know.......
 
 So - Sing a song about myself
 Keep singing a song about myself
 Not some invisible world
 
 B         F#                  Abm          E                      
 You came along and found the weak spot - that you've always wanted
 B        F#              Abm         E                                                      
 Let yourself be everything that youve always wanted (While this is sung - the chorus is sung
 it)
 B                 F#     Abm                 E            
 It doesnt have to be so silent - that you've always wanted
 B           F#         Abm            E             
 no need for explanations - that you've always wanted
 
 Ending
 
    B     F#            Abm            E                    
 You'll find, what you find when you find theres nothing x 2
 
 End on A B
