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
[Bb] Oh[C]hhhhh oh[Dm]hhhhhhhh
[Bb] Yeah-o[C]oooooooo[Dm]oooooooh
VERSE 1
We [Bb]text as we eat
As we [C]listen to the freaks
As we [Dm]wait for the right of way
We [Bb]text as we talk
We're [C]running as we walk
Cos we s[Dm]urf our little souls away
We [Bb]smoke as we choke
As we [C]sink another Coke
And we [Dm]grin when it blows our mind
We [Bb]skate as we date
As [C]we slowly suffocate
We're [Dm]running, we're running, we're running
Out of[Gm] time
CHORUS
My li[Am]fe got cold
[Dm] It happened many years ago
[Gm] When S[C]ummer slipped aw[Dm]ay
[Gm] So ch[Am]ill now whoa
[Dm] We've gotten many years to go
[Bb] So ta[C]ke it day by [Dm]day
POST-CHORUS
And lo[Gm]ng ago
I lo[Am]st my soul
To so[Dm]me forgotten dream and
Ho[Gm]w was I suppo[C]sed to know
It [Dm]wasn't what it seemed
And e[Gm]ven though the la[Am]st hello
Has [Dm]left me on the floor
I do[Bb]n't believe in Ro[C]meos or [Dm]heroes anymore
VERSE 2
We [Bb]spend as we lend
Cos we're [C]happy to pretend
Every[Dm]thing's gonna be OK
We [Bb]shake as we break
Never [C]give until we take
And we [Dm]hate when we have to pay
We [Bb]flirt while we work
To [C]forget about the hurt
And the [Dm]trash that we left behind
We [Bb]sink as we swim
The [C]ice is wearing thin
We're [Dm]running, we're running, we're running
Out of[Gm] time
CHORUS
My li[Am]fe got cold
[Dm] It happened many years ago
