American Idle

There wasn't anything up already for this song, so I gave it a shot.

Standard Tuning EADGBe



Intro:  D  Dsus2 Dsus4 D (X2)      C      G
        D  Dsus2 Dsus4 D (X2)      C      G

D
We were the kids from the cul-de-sacs

That got out somehow without looking back
C
It's over
G
It's over


D
We were the ones that grew up too fast

On the front porch steps when we still had friends
C
It's over
G
It's over


D                         Dsus2    Dsus4
We were the kids who were laughing last
D                   Dsus2    Dsus4
With big ideas and failed attempts
C
It's over
G
It's over


Em        F#              G      A
Repeat it now, repeat it with me


               G
It's in the way
                 D
We can't explain
                Em   F#   G A  C
Why we were the ones who got away


                G
It's in the way
                        D
These memories will fade
              Em   F#   G     A  C
So we always keep them locked away
            G
Lock them away


D                      Dsus2          Dsus4
We were the kids who would scrape and save
D                      Dsus2       Dsus4
And wait around for some better days
C
It's over
G
It's over


D                      Dsus2       Dsus4
We were the kids that looked one-by-one
D                     Dsus2     Dsus4
We said we would when we were young
C
It's over
G
Yeah, it's over


Em         F#            G    A
Repeat it now, repeat it with me


             G
It's in the way
             D
We can't explain
                 Em   F# G   A    C
Why we were the ones who got away


                G
It's in the way
                   D
These memories will fade
              Em   F#  G      A  C
So we always keep them locked away


                G
It's in the way
                   D
We slowly replace
               Em  F# G  A    C
The pieces we left in yesterday


Em        F#             G      A
Repeat it now, repeat it with me
Em        F#             G      C
Repeat it now, repeat it with me


                G
It's in the way
                   D
We can't explain
                 Em  F#  G   A    C
Why we were the ones who got away


                G
It's in the way
                   D
These memories will fade
 Em   F#      G       A    C
So we always keep them locked away


                G
It's in the way
                   D
We slowly replace
               Em  F# G  A    C
The pieces we left in yesterday

                G
It's in the way
                   D
These memories will fade

              Em  F#    G     A    C
So we always keep them locked away


D                      Dsus2     Dsus4
We were the kids from the cul-de-sacs
D                      Dsus2           Dsus4
That got out somehow without looking back
G
It's over
