Capo 1
[Verse 1]
(Em, D, C, G, if you want to play during this part)
N.C.
The sorrowful gust of wind that blew right between you and me
N.C.
Where did it find the loneliness it carried on the breeze?
N.C.
Looking up at the sky after shedding a stream of tears
N.C.
I could see for miles of blue, it's never been so clear
[Solo]
Em D C G
Em D C G
Em D C G
Thinking back to my father's words, they always seemed so cold
Em D C G
But I remember them fondly now, maybe I'm getting old
Em D C G
I never learned how to smile or say what's really on my mind,
Em D C G
so I looked to you, and I followed your lead every time
[Prechorus]
Em C
Now, just a little more
D Em
Only just a little more
Em C G
Let's stay here a little longer now
Em C
Now, just a little more
D Em
Only just a little more
Am7 C G
Let's stick together just a little bit longer
[Chorus]
C D
Oh, and we’re time flyers
Em
You and I, running down the timer
C D G
Tired of playing hide and seek with time
F
And always coming just short
C D
Crying even when you're happy
Em
Smiling even when you're feeling lonely
C D
It’s because a part of you has made it here before the rest has
[Solo]
C D Em D G Bm C
[Verse 2]
Em D C G
All of the things I wasted wishes on when I was small
Em D C G
all piled up in boxes now in the closet down the hall
Em D C G
If I could take every dream I’ve ever had and trade them in
Em D C G
For a little more time with you, I would never dream again.
[Solo]
C D Em D G Bm C
[Verse 3]
Em D C G
Everyday I wake up lying in my own bed,
Em D C G
I wish that I could wake up as someone else instead
Em D C G
Sometimes I feel like I've been dreaming while everyone else is awake
Em D C G
Sometimes the loneliness I feel is so much more than I can take
[Prechorus]
Em C
Now, just a little more
D Em
Only just a little more
Em C G
Let's stay here a little longer now
Em C
Now, just a little more
D Em
Only just a little more
Am7 C G
Let's stick together just a little bit longer
[Chorus]
C D Em
Oh yes, and we’re time flyers… oh, and I, I knew who you were
C D
Way before, way before I was even born
F G A
‘Fore I knew my own name, I swear I knew yours
[Bridge]
G F#m7 Em7 D G
I know in a world where you're not around, I could make it through this life somehow
G F#m7 Em7 D G
and I know that a world where you're not around would be like autumn without leaves falling down
G F#m7 Em7 D G
I know that a world where you're not around is like a beautiful song with no sound
G F#m7 Em7 A
If you're not around, in this wide world
[Chorus 1]
C D
Oh yes, we are time fliers
Em
Scaling the walls of time, climbing higher
C D G
Tired of playing hide and seek with time
G F C
And always coming just short
C D
I don’t care if time hides you
Em C
I won’t give up til I find you
Em A
So if you, can hear my voice…
Capo 2
[Chorus 3]
C D
Oh, we are time fliers
Em D
Dashing up the steps of time now
C D G
No more playing hide and seek with time
F
And always coming just short
C D
Oh, and you’re quite a showy crier
Em
Want to stop your tears, see your eyes drier
C D G
But when I went to wipe your tears dry, you refused
F
I saw them pouring down your face, I knew why
C D
Crying even when I'm happy
Em
Smiling even when I'm feeling lonely
C
It's because the heart of mine
D C
Has made it here before my body
