 #Verse 1
 #
  G                                   Em          
 Songs when they're true, are all dedicated to you
            C                               
 In this invisible world I choose to live in
  G                                  Em      
 And if you believe that for now I understand
                       C      
 Why words mean so much to you
                    G      
 They'll never be about you
 
 
 Verse 2
 G                               
 Maybe you're young without youth
              Em                              C   
 Maybe you're old without, knowing anything's true
                         G             
 I think you're young without youth....
 
 
 Pre Chorus - drums begin, riff stops.
 
  D                       C          
 Then you contract the American dream
       Em         D    
 You never look up once
 DV C
 You've contracted American dreams
 Em D (slide up to G)
 I require you to stop and look up.
 
 
 Chorus
 
 G      D          Em    
 Sing a song about myself
                C           G    
 Keep singing a song about myself
            D       Em    C 
 Not some invisible world 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 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 Part
 
 D                          C                  Em        D   
 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...
 
 Sooo, Sing a song about myself
 Keep singing a song about myself
 Not some invisible world
 
 
 G         D                   Em          C                       
 You came along and found the weak spot - that you've always wanted
 G        D              Em         C               
 Let yourself be everything that youve always wanted
 (While this is sung - the chorus is sung)
 G                D      Em                 C              
 It doesnt have to be so silent - that you've always wanted
 G           D           Em            C             
 No need for explanations - that you've always wanted
 
 Ending
 
    G     D             Em             C                      
 You'll find, what you find when you find theres nothing (x 2)
 
 
 End on a G
