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

Who were supposed to be
           D
And who we are
                     Em               C
Doesn't it seem like were kinda far
            G                      D
From the original plan from the start
       Em                  Em
Back when it used to matter
