[INTRO: Spoken]
C                   G                  D
"So the question is, why doesn't he grow up?
Em                                 C      
Why does he still behave as a child?
                 G
How can we help him get rid of these 
 D                         Em
leftovers from chidish behavior?"


[VERSE 1]
Em                            D
  This is the winter of our youth
  G                C
  Oh but I'm not there yet
Em                              D
  I've got nostalgia running through me
G              C
  And I don't like it


[PRE-CHORUS]
   C           G
Oh my, my, my, my
                  G         Em
Now I can almost taste it, taste it
    C  G
But I,
                     D        Em
Just hope we didn't waste it away


[CHORUS]
    C       G
I know the winter's getting colder
     D               Em
But why? Just cause we're a little older
  C            G             D  Em
Do I relive it, I relive it all?
              C        G
I'm pedaling backwards
             Em         D
Even if I'm pedaling alone, can't help it
C             G             D  Em
  I relive it, I relive it all

C  G  D  Em


[VERSE 2]
Em                         D
  It's 4AM here comes the fear, I'm
G         C
  Not prepared yet
Em                           D
  And when we pick over the past, we
G       C
  Glorify it


[PRE-CHORUS]
   C           G
Oh my, my, my, my
                 G       Em
I hope I wasn't wasted, wasted
    C  G
And I,
                  D        Em
I hope I didn't drink it away


[CHORUS]
    C       G
I know the winter's getting colder
     D               Em
But why? Just cause we're a little older
  C            G             D  Em
Do I relive it, I relive it all?
              C        G
I'm pedaling backwards
             Em         D
Even if I'm pedaling alone, can't help it
C             G             D  Em
  I relive it, I relive it all


[BRIDGE]
   C               Em               C                 Em  D
I let myself bathe in the past for way, way, way too long
     C                  Em               C                 Em  D
And now it seems I've drunk too much to give you what you want


[CHORUS]
    C       G
I know the winter's getting colder
     D               Em
But why? Just cause we're a little older
  C             G             D  Em
Do I relive it, I relive it all?
              C        G
I'm pedaling backwards
             Em         D
Even if I'm pedaling alone, can't help it
C             G             D  Em
  I relive it, I relive it all
              C            G             D  Em
Can't help it, I relive it, I relive it all
              C            G             D  Em
Can't help it, I relive it, I relive it all 
              C        G
I'm pedaling backwards
             Em         D
Even if I'm pedaling alone, can't help it
C             G             D  Em
  I relive it, I relive it all
