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