Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Am][G][F][G]

[Verse 1]
[C]I could not see the haze
Back in the [Am]day when
we lived inside of it
Now [G]I'm [F]floating [G]away
And haunting the [C]halls night and day
Out in some [Em]storage space
out on the highway
Fifteen [F]years tossed in [G]boxes

[Verse 2]
[G]Chocked with old [F]bills, [G]phones,
[Abdim]pictures and [Am]trash
Oh, the [Bb]dramas and [F]memories at[Em]tached
Now I'm won[F]dering
[Gsus4]What matters most[C]?

[Verse 3]
[C]
A true friend is
Someone who [Am]when you are with them
You know [F]what matters [G]most
Oh, but that [Am]door [G]slammed so [C]tight
With [Am]you and our t[Em]ime trapped behind it
Now you're [F]floating [G]away

[Verse 4]
[G]But in these [F]days [G]of
[Abdim]overwhelming [Am]change
[Bb]I just wanna [F]know what I [Em]want
Because [F]I only s[G]eem to
[Abdim]know what I don'[Am]t
With so [F]little time
[G]What matters [C]most? [Am]Mmm
Tell me [F]what, [G]what matters [C]most? Mmm
[Am]

[Interlude 1]
[Dm][G][Am][G]
[C][F][Dm][Bb][F][G]

[Verse 5]
I keep [G]going for the [C]phone
To send you a note with the news
[Am]An d I'm thinking, "Man,
you won't be[F]lieve [G]this"
You're [C]gone

[Verse 6]
[C]
Sorting through [F]photos of fake [G]smiles
And [Abdim]photos of re[Am]al ones
Now [Bb]I've thrown the
whole [F]lot in the [Em]bin
Just got a [F]glimpse
Of [G]what matters [C]most, [Am]mmm
Tell me [F]what
[G]What matters [C]most, mmm

[Outro 1]
[C][Am][Bb][F][G]
