Wasted Hours
View chords used in this chart
G
All those wasted hours we used to know
Bm Em C
Spent the summer staring out the window
G
The wind it takes you where it wants to go
First they built the road, then they built the town
Bm Em C
That's why we're still driving round and round
G
And all we see, are kids in buses longing to be free
Chorus:
G G/B
Wasted hours, before we knew
Am Em G
Where to go, and what to do
Am Em G
Wasted hours, that you made new
Em Bm G
And turned into, a life that we can live
G
Some cities make you lose your head
Bm Em C
Endless suburbs stretched out thin and dead
G
And what was that line you said
Wishing you were anywhere but here
Bm Em C
You watch the life you're living disappear
G
And now I see we're still kids in buses longing to be free
