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

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 Bm C
Why we were the ones who got away
G
It's in the way
D
These memories will fade
Em F# G Bm 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 Bm C
Why we were the ones who got away
G
It's in the way
D
These memories will fade
Em F# G Bm C
So we always keep them locked away
G
It's in the way
D
We slowly replace
Em F# G Bm C
The pieces we left in yesterday
Em F# G
Repeat it now, repeat it with me
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 Bm C
Why we were the ones who got away
G
It's in the way
D
These memories will fade
Em F# G Bm C
So we always keep them locked away
G
It's in the way
D
We slowly replace
Em F# G Bm C
The pieces we left in yesterday

It's over
