B5                                   Ab5
Songs when the truth are all dedicated to you
              E5                                B5
In this invisible world I choose to live in


B5                                   Ab5
And if you believe that for now I understand
                  E5
Why words mean so much to you
                  B5
They'll never be about you 


B5                             
Maybe you're young without youth
           Ab5                         E5
Maybe you're old without knowing anything's true
                  B5
I think you're young without youth

                              Repeat till chorus
F#5                      E5
Then you contract the American dream
   Ab5            F#5
You never look up once
F#5                  E5
You've contracted American dreams
   Ab5            F#5
I require you to stop and look up.
                                 
Chorus:
B5                   F#5
Sing a song about myself
Ab5                  E5
Keep singing a song about myself
B5           F#5        Ab5    E5
Not some invisible world


Verse: same as before
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

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


Bridge 2: same chords as brigde 1
Then you contract the American dream
You never look up once
You've contracted American dreams
You never look up once, so don't look up


Chorus:
Sing a song about myself
Keep singing a song about myself
Not some invisible world
Sing a song about myself
Keep singing a song about myself
Not some invisible world


Middle 8:
F#5                        E5     Ab5               F#5
I won't tell you what this means, cause you already know
F#5                        E5     Ab5               F#5
I won't tell you what this means, cause you already know


Chorus:
Sing a song about myself 
Keep singing a song about myself
Not some invisible world
Sing a song about myself
Keep singing a song about myself
Not some invisible world
(so you came along and found the weak spot that you've always wanted?)

Acoustic:
B5         F#5      Ab5      E5
