[Intro]
G C Em D (x2)
[Verse 1]
G
Wheels
C Em
Start off pushing you on four
D
and you don’t have a say in where you’re going
G
Wheels
C Em
Racing Matchbox on the floor
D
Crash and burn but everybody’s okay
G
and Then
C Em
you get a 10 speed at the store
D
And they’re popping off the curb before you know it
G
Those wheels
C Em
Countin’ down ‘til you're 16
D
So you can finally get your own set
[Chorus]
G
‘Cause they don’t slow down
C
The speed picks up
Em D
You start wishing you were young as soon as you grow up
G
And the farther you roll
C
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]
G
Wheels
C Em
Roll your suitcase down the hall
D
Heading home ‘cause Mom says he ain’t got much more
G
Time
C Em
Two hands ticking on the wall
D
Keeping track of days and years and years and time
G
Like wheels
C Em
And now they’re spinning in your head
D
‘Bout what you’re gonna do with what you’ve got left
[Chorus]
G
‘Cause they don’t slow down
C
The speed picks up
Em D
You start wishing you were young as soon as you grow up
G
And the farther you roll
C
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]
Em
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
D
You wanna go back
C
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]
G
But they don’t slow down
C
The speed picks up
Em D
You start wishing you were young as soon as you grow up
G
And the farther you roll
C
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}
G C Em D
Mhm
Life’s just a set of wheels
