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