Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Songs  when they're true, are all dedicated  to you
 In this invisible  world I choose to live in
 And  if you believe that for now I understand
 Why words mean so much  to you
 They'll never be about  you
Maybe  you're young without youth
 Maybe you're old  without, knowing anything's true
 I think you're young without  youth....
 Then  you contract the American  dream
 You never  look up  once
You've  contracted American  dreams
I  require you to stop  and look up.
Sing  a song  about myself
 Keep singing a song  about myself
 Not some invisible  world
 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
 Then  you contracted American  dreams
 You never  look up  once
You've  contracted American  dreams
I  require you to stop  and look up.
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
You  came along  and found the weak  spot - that  you've always wanted
Let  yourself  be everything  that youve always  wanted
It  doesnt have to be  so silent  - that you've always  wanted
no  need for explanations  - that you've always  wanted
 You'll  find,  what you find  when you find  theres nothing x 2
 End on C
