Most of the lyrics in the post-chorus are syncopated (fall between the beats),
which is why the chords look out of line. You might want to listen to the song
to hear the timing.
INTRO
Ohhhhhh ohhhhhhhhh
Yeah-ooooooooooooooooh
VERSE 1
We text as we eat
As we listen to the freaks
As we wait for the right of way
We text as we talk
We're running as we walk
Cos we surf our little souls away
We smoke as we choke
As we sink another Coke
And we grin when it blows our mind
We skate as we date
As we slowly suffocate
We're running, we're running, we're running
Out of time
CHORUS
My life got cold
It happened many years ago
When Summer slipped away
So chill now whoa
We've gotten many years to go
So take it day by day
POST-CHORUS
And long ago
I lost my soul
To some forgotten dream and
How was I supposed to know
It wasn't what it seemed
And even though the last hello
Has left me on the floor
I don't believe in Romeos or heroes anymore
VERSE 2
We spend as we lend
Cos we're happy to pretend
Everything's gonna be OK
We shake as we break
Never give until we take
And we hate when we have to pay
We flirt while we work
To forget about the hurt
And the trash that we left behind
We sink as we swim
The ice is wearing thin
We're running, we're running, we're running
Out of time
CHORUS
My life got cold
It happened many years ago
When Summer slipped away
So chill now whoa
We've gotten many years to go
So take it day by day
POST-CHORUS
And long ago
I lost my soul
To some forgotten dream and
How was I supposed to know
It wasn't what it seemed
And even though the last hello
Has left me on the floor
I don't believe in Romeos or heroes anymore
CHORUS (uses verse chords)
My life got cold
It happened many years ago
When Summer slipped away
So chill now whoa
We've gotten many years to go
So take it day by day
POST-CHORUS
And long ago
I lost my soul
To some forgotten dream and
How was I supposed to know
It wasn't what it seemed
And even though the last hello
Has left me on the floor
I don't believe in Romeos or heroes anymore
