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
