[Verse 1]
B
Wheels
C#m D#m E
Start off pushing you on forward and you don’t have a say in where you’re going
B
Wheels
C#m D#m
Racing Matchbox on the floor
E
Crash and burn but everybody’s okay and
B C#m D#m
Then you get a 10 speed at the store
E
And they’re popping off the curb before you know it
B
Those wheels
C#m D#m
Countin’ down ‘til you're 16
E
So you can finally get your own set
[Chorus]
B
But they don’t slow down
C#m
The speed picks up
D#m E
You start wishing you were young as soon as you grow up
B
And the farther you roll
C#m
The faster they spin
D#m E
They drive you away and bring you home again
B C#m D#m
I swear sometimes it feels
C#m E G#m
Like life’s just a set of wheels
[Verse 2]
G
Wheels
C#m D#m
Roll your suitcase down the hall
E G
Heading home ‘cause Mom says he ain’t got much more time
C#m D#m
Two hands ticking on the wall
E
Keeping track of days and years and years and time
G
Like wheels
C#m D#m
And now they’re spinning in your head
E
‘Bout what you’re gonna do with what you’ve got left
[Chorus]
B
But they don’t slow down
C#m
The speed picks up
D#m E
You start wishing you were young as soon as you grow up
B
And the farther you roll
C#m
The faster they spin
D#m E
They drive you away and bring you home again
B C#m D#m
I swear sometimes it feels
C#m E G# G
Like life’s just a set of wheels
[Bridge]
C#m
Burnin’ out in the driveway
D#m
‘Cause you’re angry as hell
E
Cryin’ just for a little
G
Hoping nobody can tell
C#m
You wanna go back
D#m
And try to slow ‘em down
E
But it all keeps spinning round and round like wheels
[Chorus]
B
But they don’t slow down
C#m
The speed picks up
D#m E
You start wishing you were young as soon as you grow up
B
And the farther you roll
C#m
The faster they spin
D#m E
They drive you away and bring you home again
B C#m D#m
I swear sometimes it feels
C#m E G#m
Like life’s just a set of wheels
[Outro]
B
Mhm
C#m
Life’s just a set of wheels
