Standard (EADGBE)

 See, these days it's different,

 It's all new. The old is gone

 and I am too.

Wishing I was closer to

back when it used to matter

 All my coins are gone,

 it's plastic now

 My Ipod's got me asking 'how

 could all my albums take me down

 To back when it used to matter?'

Chorus

 Now it seems that we

 are all wrapped up so tight,

 light just can't get in

 And I feel that we can't see

 Now it seems that we

 are all wrapped up so tight,

 light just can't get in

 And I feel, it's not 'maybe'

See, my watch is worthless,

So is my pen

And it seems nothing is

greater than

something that takes me

Way back when, to

back when it used to Matter

All the wrods I write

are on a screen,

And the friends I have

have 'added' me

And there's no record

of anything,

and now we all cease

to matter

So you die when you turn 22

but they gonna wait to bury you

Cuz you got a 9 to 5 to do

And that's supposed to matter

So you replace your time

in between

with other peoples'

hopes and dreams

And they live their lives on

your TV

And now you don't even matter

I just want us yo be who were

supposed to be and who we are

doesn't it seem like were kinda

far from the original plan

from the start back

when it used to matter
