Verse
D G D G
Between the chemical trails in the morning
G D G
And the UFOs at night
D D/C# D/B D/A
The sky becomes a canvas
G A
For my worst conspiracies
D G D G
And through the storm clouds that were forming
G F#m
More black and blue than white
D D/C# D/B D/A
I saw two shooting stars as the getaway car
G Asus A
My life turned out to be
[Chorus 1]
G Em D G D G
But my face is pressed against the window
G F#m A
While the traveled road lives up to its cliché
D D/C# D/B D/A G
Desperately just trying to hold on to something
Em G D G D G
As I'm learning now that the time flies either way
[Verse 2]
D G D G
I confused a sense of purpose
G D
With grabbing the future by the throat
D D/C# D/B D/A
While the museum of my memories
G A
Was just some blurry photographs
D G D G
When I was younger I was serious
G F#m
Now everything's a joke
D D/C# D/B D/A
But my friends detect a sadness
G Asus A
At the end of every laugh
[Chorus 2]
G Em D G D G
Which has left me with a tricky sense of humor
G F#m A
And I keep getting further led astray
D D/C# D/B D/A G
Every punchline takes on another dimension
Em G D G D G
When you realize that the time flies either way
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
D G D G
But at the height of this confusion
G D G
That's when your eyes met mine
D D/C# D/B D/A
I caught a small chance at salvation
G A
Staring right at me
D G D G
I saw my boyhood reach conclusion
G F#m
I saw a life spent at your side
D D/C# D/B D/A
I saw the permanent replacement
G A Asus A
Of all the You's and I's to We
[Chorus 3]
Em G D G D
Finding out that all my proudest moments
G G F#m A
Would be spent trying to put a smile on your face
D D/C# D/B D/A G
And I'm lettin' that fact answer all of my questions
Em G Bm F#m
Cause I know now that the time flies either way
Em G D G D G D G D G
I know now that the time flies either way
