Time Flies Either Way

               D        G             D    G
Between the chemical trails in the morning
          G             D   G
And the UFOs at night
     D    D/C#             D/B D/A
The sky becomes a canvas
         G                 A
For my worst conspiracies

                  D      G                D    G
And through the storm clouds that were forming
  G                       F#m
More black and blue than white
        D            D/C#          D/B   D/A
I saw two shooting stars as the getaway car
    G                     Asus A
My life turned out to be


[Chorus 1]
G               Em                    D   G   D  G
But my face is pressed against the window
               G              F#m           A
While the traveled road lives up to its cliché
D       D/C#       D/B      D/A          G
Desperately just trying to hold on to something
        Em                    G                   D  G    D  G
As I'm learning now that the time flies either way


[Verse 2]
    D          G             D  G
I confused a sense of purpose
Continúa después del anuncio
                    G               D
With grabbing the future by the throat
            D    D/C# D/B    D/A
While the museum of my memories
                G              A
Was just some blurry photographs

             D    G        D    G
When I was younger I was serious
G                    F#m
Now everything's a joke
          D       D/C#     D/B   D/A
But my friends detect a sadness
        G                Asus A
At the end of every laugh


[Chorus 2]
           G               Em                 D  G    D  G
Which has left me with a tricky sense of humor
    G                F#m          A
And I keep getting further led astray
  D     D/C#      D/B      D/A      G
Every punchline takes on another dimension
          Em               G                    D  G    D  G
When you realize that the time flies either way


[Instrumental]


[Verse 3]
             D         G           D  G
But at the height of this confusion
G                            D  G
That's when your eyes met mine
             D     D/C#     D/B     D/A
I caught a small chance at salvation
G                 A
Staring right at me

          D       G              D  G
I saw my boyhood reach conclusion
         G                   F#m
I saw a life spent at your side
            D  D/C#     D/B     D/A
I saw the permanent replacement
            G                A  Asus A
Of all the You's and I's to We


[Chorus 3]
Em               G                       D  G    D
Finding out that all my proudest moments
G                G              F#m           A
Would be spent trying to put a smile on your face
           D    D/C#      D/B    D/A        G
And I'm lettin' that fact answer all of my questions
         Em                G                 Bm   F#m
Cause I know now that the time flies either way
   Em                G                  D  G    D  G    D  G    D  G
I know now that the time flies either way
