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/D# Wasted hours, before we knew C#m G#m B B/D# 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 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC#m  D#  D#m  E  G#m  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
