[Verse]
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
[Verse]
C
I never learned anybody's name
G
We all vowed that we wouldn't stay
C
Kissing signs on the interstate
G
All we do for now is sit and wait
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
Ah, In our idle town.
C G
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, hey
(in our idle town)
Am G
Making life a spinning arcade
(in our idle town)
C G C G
And curfew's at midnight, we watch the sunrise
C G
We watch the sunrise
We watch the sun
[Verse]
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
[Verse]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
Ah, In our idle town.
C G
Ah, in our idle town.
[Chorus]
Am G
Yeah, we invent our own little games
(in our idle town)

Making life a spinning arcade
(in our idle town)
C G C G
And curfew's at midnight, we watch the sunrise
C G
We watch the sunrise
We watch the sun
[Bridge]
C G
And they watched the sunrise
C G C
Blinking out of red eyes, and sore minds
G C
The airplanes keep flying by, and they cry
G C
'Cause they've never even touched the sky
G
No, they'll never even touch the sky
[Chorus]
Am 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 C
Killing time at the yellow café
(in our idle town)
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 G
So curfew's at midnight
We watch the sunrise
[Verse]
C
This town will never change
People come and go,
G
it's all the same
Speed the roads
C
on our doubting days

To any place that's far away
