G D/F# Em7 Dsus2
I'm hitting fast forward
C/E Bm/D
Seems like we'd gotten kind of stuck
C Bb F
Time to get out of town and try to
Bb F/A Gm F Eb Dm/F
Set the controls for sometime off in the future
Eb Db
Where people will be happy instead of
Ab
Getting dumber and getting scared-er all the time
Scared of their own shadows and scared to take a fall
F
Either miserable with millions or dying for a dime
C/E D
Desperate to live forever or lucky to live at all
G D/F# Em7 Dsus2
And if I could see myself from
C/E Bm/D C Bb F
some other planet Would I be shaking my head sadly or
Bb F/A Gm F Eb Dm/F Eb
Would I be laughing Saying it's always been the same
Db
But anyway
Ab Absus4 Ab Eb/G Ab
Not going back to the Age of Gold or the Age of Sin
F Fsus4 F C F C/E D
Fast forward till I understand the age I'm in
G D/F# Em7 Dsus2
And it's always the old guys bitching
C/E Bm/D
About the young guys growing beards
C Bb F
Or turning into sissies or something
Bb F/A Gm F Eb Dm/F
While they're trying to hold back time As if that isn't weird
Eb/G Db
Meanwhile the young guys are
Ab
Waiting for respect when what they wanna be is cool
Cool calm and collected just as if that isn't strange
F
Or they wanna blow the whistle, ring the bell and change the rules
When the game goes on forever It's just the uniforms that change
C/E D
G D/F# Em7 Dsus2 C/E Bm/D
If this is the best of times or if it's the worst
C Bb F
There's some difference of opinion out there
Bb F/A Gm F Eb Dm/F
Everyone is a genius but no one has any friends
Eb/G Db
Or is it the other way around
Ab Absus4 Ab Eb/G Ab
Not going back to the Age of Gold or the Age of Sin
F Fsus4 F C/E F C/E D
Fast forward till I understand the age I'm in
Bm
Sometimes I look at the Moon
Abm
And I think I know just how she feels
Gmaj7
Going round and round us again
E
As we go round the Sun
Bm Abm
Watching us as fools and geniuses rush in
Gmaj7
And you and me age disgracefully
E
And have way too much fun
Bm Abm Gmaj7 E
Bm Abm Gmaj7 E
Bm Abm Gmaj7 E

G D/F# Em7 Dsus2 C/E Bm/D
And everyone knows about what's over and done
C Bb F
And tied up with pretty ribbons on it
Bb F/A Gm F Eb Dm/F
One king after another with a mad one and a queen or two
Eb/G Db
Thrown in for good measure and meanwhile
Ab
We can make the future, make it every bit as clear
Make a friendly Star Trek universe, 'cause everything's allowed
F
The only place that's seriously strange to be is here
And the only time that's maddeningly mysterious is now
C/E D
G D/F# Em7 Dsus2 C/E Bm/D
So I'm hitting fast forward
C Bb
F Bb F/A Gm F Eb Dm/F
Come on get on board!
Eb/G Db
You don't wanna be late now...
Ab Absus4 Ab Eb/G Ab
Not going back to the Age of Gold or the Age of Sin
F Fsus4 F C F C/E D
Fast forward till I understand the age I'm in
