[Intro]

G C Em D

(x2)

[Verse 1]

Wheels

C Em

Start off pushing you on four

and you don’t have a say in where you’re going

Wheels

C Em

Racing Matchbox on the floor

Crash and burn but everybody’s okay

and Then

C Em

you get a 10 speed at the store

And they’re popping off the curb before you know it

Those wheels

C Em

Countin’ down ‘til you're 16

So you can finally get your own set

[Chorus]

‘Cause they don’t slow down

The speed picks up

Em D

You start wishing you were young as soon as you grow up

And the farther you roll

The faster they spin

Em D

They drive you away and bring you home again

C Em Am

I swear sometimes it feels

C D6/9 G

Like life’s just a set of wheels

[Verse 2]

Wheels

C Em

Roll your suitcase down the hall

Heading home ‘cause Mom says he ain’t got much more

Time

C Em

Two hands ticking on the wall

Keeping track of days and years and years and time

Like wheels

C Em

And now they’re spinning in your head

‘Bout what you’re gonna do with what you’ve got left

[Chorus]

‘Cause they don’t slow down

The speed picks up

Em D

You start wishing you were young as soon as you grow up

And the farther you roll

The faster they spin

Em D

They drive you away and bring you home again

C Em Am

I swear sometimes it feels

C D6/9

Like life’s just a set of wheels

[Bridge]

Burnin’ out in the driveway

D C

‘Cause you’re angry as hell

Em Am

Cryin’ just for a little

C Em

Hoping nobody can tell

You wanna go back

And try to slow ‘em dow

Em Am D6/9 G

But it all keeps spinning round and round like wheels

[Interlude]

G C Em D

(x2)

[Chorus]

But they don’t slow down

The speed picks up

Em D

You start wishing you were young as soon as you grow up

And the farther you roll

The faster they spin

Em D

They drive you away and bring you home again

C Em Am

I swear sometimes it feels

C D6/9

Like nothing can stop these wheels

[Outro}
