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