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