Used To Matter

Used to matter - Soldiers of the jah army 

Cordoba, Argentina 

            Em             D    
See, these days it's different, 
                  G   
It's all new. The old is gone 
    Am 
and I am too. 

Em              D 
Wishing I was closer to 
G                     C   C/B 
back when it used to matter 

       Em 
All my coins are gone, 
       D 
it's plastic now 
   G             Am  
My Ipod's got me asking 'how 
      Em             D 
could all my albums take me down 
    G                    C  C/B 
To back when it used to matter?' 

Chorus: 
         G        D  
Now it seems that we 
          Em          
are all wrapped up so tight, 
 C                    G 
light just can't get in 
        D                  Em 
And I feel that we can't see 

         G        D  
Now it seems that we 
          Em          
are all wrapped up so tight, 
 C                    G 
light just can't get in 
       D                Em    
And I feel, it's not 'maybe' 

See, my watch is worthless, 
So is my pen 
And it seems nothing is 
greater than 
something that takes me 
Way back when, to 
back when it used to Matter 
All the wrods I write 
are on a screen, 
And the friends I have 
have 'added' me 
And there's no record 
of anything, 
and now we all cease 
to matter 

So you die when you turn 22 
but they gonna wait to bury you 
Cuz you got a 9 to 5 to do 
And that's supposed to matter 
So you replace your time 
in between 
with other peoples' 
hopes and dreams 
And they live their lives on 
your TV 

And now you don't even matter 
I just want us yo be who were 
supposed to be and who we are 
doesn't it seem like were kinda 
far from the original plan 
from the start back 
when it used to matter
