E5                     D5
See, these days it's different, it's all new.
           G5                A5
The old is gone and I am too.
        E5           D5              G5               A5
Wishing I was closer to back when it used to matter
                E5                     D5
All my coins are gone, it's plastic now
             G5           A5               E5                 D5
My Ipod's got me asking 'how could all my albums take me down'
               G5               A5
To back when it used to matter?'
          G5          D5
Now it seems that we
        E5                  C5
Are all wrapped up so tight,
                        G5
Light just can't get in
         D5                  E5
And I feel that we can't see
          G5          D5
Now it seems that we
        E5                   C5
Are all wrapped up so tight,
                         G5
Light just can't get in
         D5                 E5
And I feel, it's not 'maybe'
            E5                         D5
So, my watch is worthless, so is my pen
               G5                     A5
And it seems nothing is greater than
               E5                     D5
Something that takes me Way back when,
               G5              A5
To back when it used to Matter
                E5                  D5
All the words I write are on a screen
                 G5                    A5
And the friends I have have 'added' me
                E5               D5
And there's no record of anything
               G5               A5
And now we all cease to matter
          G5         D5
Now it seems that we
        E5                C5
Are all wrapped up so tight,
                        G5
Light just can't get in
         D5                   E5
And I feel that we can't see
         G5          D5
Now it seems that we
        E5                C5
Are all wrapped up so tight,
                       G5
Light just can't get in
         D5                 E5
And I feel, it's not 'maybe'
         E5              D5
So you die when you turn 22
                G5              A5
But they gonna wait to bury you
              E5          D5
Cuz you got a 9 to 5 to do
             G5               A5
And that's supposed to matter
             E5                   D5
So you replace your time in between
                G5                   A5
With other peoples' hopes and dreams
               E5                   D5
And they live their lives on your TV
               G5              A5
And now you don't even matter!
          G5          D5
Oh it seems, that we
         E5                C5
Are all wrapped up so tight,
                     G5
Life just never gets in.
        D5                  E5
And I feel that we can't see.
  E5
It's not maybe,
             G5
It's certainly.
         D5             E5
And I know we can't see,
C5                  G5
I just want us to be

Who were supposed to be
           D5
And who we are
                     E5               C5
Doesn't it seem like were kinda far
            G5                      D5
From the original plan from the start
       E5                  E5
Back when it used to matter
