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