Verse
C F C F
Between the chemical trails in the morning
F C F
And the UFOs at night
C C/B 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 Em
More black and blue than white
C C/B C/A C/G
I saw two shooting stars as the getaway car
F Gsus G
My life turned out to be
[Chorus 1]
F Dm C F C F
But my face is pressed against the window
F Em G
While the traveled road lives up to its cliché
C C/B C/A C/G F
Desperately just trying to hold on to something
Dm 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/B 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 Em
Now everything's a joke
C C/B C/A C/G
But my friends detect a sadness
F Gsus G
At the end of every laugh
[Chorus 2]
F Dm C F C F
Which has left me with a tricky sense of humor
F Em G
And I keep getting further led astray
C C/B C/A C/G F
Every punchline takes on another dimension
Dm 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/B 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 Em
I saw a life spent at your side
C C/B C/A C/G
I saw the permanent replacement
F G Gsus G
Of all the You's and I's to We
[Chorus 3]
Dm F C F C
Finding out that all my proudest moments
F F Em G
Would be spent trying to put a smile on your face
C C/B C/A C/G F
And I'm lettin' that fact answer all of my questions
Dm F Am Em
Cause I know now that the time flies either way
Dm F C F C F C F C F
I know now that the time flies either way
