[Verse 1]
GAll those wasted hours we used to know
BmSpent the summer Emstaring out the Cwindow
The wind it takes you where it wants to Ggo
First they built the road, then they built the town
BmThat's why we're still Emdriving round and Cround
And all we see, are kids in buses longing to be Gfree
[Chorus]
GWasted hours, before we knewG/B  
AmWhere to Emgo, and Gwhat to doG/B  
AmWasted Emhours, that Gyou made Csus2new
And Emturned Bminto, a life that we can Glive
[Verse 2]
GSome cities make you lose your head
BmEndless suburbs Emstretched out thin and Cdead
And what was that line you Gsaid
Wishing you were anywhere but here
You Bmwatch the life you're Emliving disaCppear
And now I see we're still kids in buses longing to be Gfree
[Chorus]
