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

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
