EmD
See, these days it's different, it's all new.
GAm
The old is gone and I am too.
EmDGAm
Wishing I was closer to back when it used to matter
EmD
All my coins are gone, it's plastic now
GAmEmD
My Ipod's got me asking 'how could all my albums take me down'
GAm
To back when it used to matter?'
GD
Now it seems that we
EmC
Are all wrapped up so tight,
G
Light just can't get in
DEm
And I feel that we can't see
GD
Now it seems that we
EmC
Are all wrapped up so tight,
G
Light just can't get in
DEm
And I feel, it's not 'maybe'
EmD
So, my watch is worthless, so is my pen
GAm
And it seems nothing is greater than
EmD
Something that takes me Way back when,
GAm
To back when it used to Matter
EmD
All the words I write are on a screen
GAm
And the friends I have have 'added' me
EmD
And there's no record of anything
GAm
And now we all cease to matter
GD
Now it seems that we
EmC
Are all wrapped up so tight,
G
Light just can't get in
DEm
And I feel that we can't see
GD
Now it seems that we
EmC
Are all wrapped up so tight,
G
Light just can't get in
DEm
And I feel, it's not 'maybe'
EmD
So you die when you turn 22
GAm
But they gonna wait to bury you
EmD
Cuz you got a 9 to 5 to do
GAm
And that's supposed to matter
EmD
So you replace your time in between
GAm
With other peoples' hopes and dreams
EmD
And they live their lives on your TV
GAm
And now you don't even matter!
GD
Oh it seems, that we
EmC
Are all wrapped up so tight,
G
Life just never gets in.
DEm
And I feel that we can't see.
Em
It's not maybe,
G
It's certainly.
DEm
And I know we can't see,
CG
I just want us to be
Who were supposed to be
D
And who we are
EmC
Doesn't it seem like were kinda far
GD
From the original plan from the start
EmEm
Back when it used to matter
