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