B                                   Abm

In this invisible world I choose to live in

					Repeat till chorus
F#                      E
Then you contract the American dream
   Abm            F#
You never look up once
F#			E
You've contracted American dreams
   Abm            F#
I require you to stop and look up.
					   

Chorus:

B                   F#
Sing a song about myself
Abm                  E
Keep singing a song about myself
B           F#        Abm    E
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#			      E     Abm               F#
I won't tell you what this means, cause you already know
F#			      E     Abm               F#
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…)
