E F#
I heard a funny noise.
B F# E
Went out to the back yard to find out
E F#
if it was one of those rowdy boys.
B F# E
Stood there with my neighbor called Peter,
E F#
and a Flux Capacitor.
Pre-Chorus:

He told me he built a time machine.
E
Like one in a film I've seen,
yeah... he said...
B F# E E
I've been to the year 3000
F# B F# E E
not much has changed but they lived under water.
F# B F# E E
And your great great great grand daughter,
F# B F# E
is doing fine (doooing fine).
Verse 2 (same as Verse 1)
He took me to the future in the flux thing, and I saw everything.
Boy bands, and another one and another one ... and another one!
And girls there with round hair, like Star Wars. They float above the floor
