B
All those wasted hours we used to know
D#m               G#m                E
Spent the summer staring out the window
                                        B
The wind it takes you where it wants to go
First they built the road, then they built the town
D#m                     G#m                E
That's why we're still driving round and round
                                                  B
And all we see, are kids in buses longing to be free

Chorus:
B                            B  
Wasted hours, before we knew
C#m       G#m      B         B  
Where to go, and what to do
C#m     G#m         B        E
Wasted hours, that you made new
    G#m    D#m                       B
And turned into, a life that we can live

Some cities make you lose your head
(La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Endless suburbs stretched out thin and dead
What was that line you said?
Wishing you were anywhere but here
(La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
You watch the life you’re living disappear
And now I see
We’re still kids in the buses, longing to be free

Chorus

A life that we can live
