Verse 1
[C]
This town will never change
[G]
People come and go, it's all the same
[C]
Speed the roads on our doubting days
[G]
To any place that's far away

I never learned anybody's name

We all vowed that we wouldn't stay

Kissing signs on the interstate
[G]
All we do for now is sit and wait
Pre-Chorus
[C] [G] [C] [G]
Ah, in our idle town. Ah, in our idle town
Chorus
[Am] [G]
Yeah, we invent our own little games (in our idle town)
[Am] [G]
When the lights out at the stadium fade (in our idle town)
[Am] [G]
Making life a spinning arcade (in our idle town)
[C] [G] [C]
And curfew's at midnight, we watch the sunrise
[G] [C]
We watch the sunrise
[G]
We watch the sun
Verse 2
[C]
Springtime when the air is thin
[G]
We're getting antsy and they're noticing
[C]
While everybody's off partying
[G]
We're watching stars over ice-cream
[C]
And now we're kicking up to seventh gear
[G]
And we're breathing in the atmosphere
[C]
And I don't even need a sip of beer
[G]
Yeah, I can feel it all

Bridge
[C] [G]
And they watched the sunrise
[C] [G]
Blinking out of red eyes, and sore minds
[C] [G] [C]
The airplanes keep flying by, and they cry
[G]
'Cause they've never even touched the sky
[C] [G]
No, they'll never even touch the sky
Chorus
[C] [G]
Yeah, we invent our own little games (in our idle town)
[C] [G]
And everybody's trying to escape (in our idle town)
[C] [G]
Killing time at the yellow café (in our idle town)
[C] [G]
And curfew's at midnight (in our idle town)
Outro
[C] [G]
Yeah, I think that we'll all be okay (in our idle town)
[C] [G]
The idle town will stay as it stays (in our idle town)
[C] [G]
And everyone I love's in this place (in our idle town)
[C]
The curfew's at midnight
[G]
We watch the sunrise
