I'm hitting fast [G]for[D/F#]ward[Em7] [Dsus2]
Seems l[C/E]ike we'd gotten [Bm/D]kind of stuck
[C]Time to get [Bb]out of town and try t[F]o
Set the con[Bb]trols [F/A]for s[Gm]omet[F]ime [Eb]off in [Dm/F]the future
Where [Eb]people will be hap[Db]py instead of
[Ab]Getting dumber and getting scared-er all the time
Scared of their own shadows and scared to take a fall
Either [F]miserable with millions or dying for a dime
Desperate to live forever or lucky to live at all[C/E] [D]
And if I could s[G]ee [D/F#] myse[Em7]lf [Dsus2]from
[C/E]some other [Bm/D]planet Would I be s[C]haking my head [Bb]sadly or[F]
Would I be [Bb]laugh[F/A]ing [Gm]Sayi[F]ng [Eb]it's al[Dm/F]ways been th[Eb]e same
Bu[Db]t anyway
[Ab]Not going back to the [Absus4]Age of G[Ab]old or the [Eb/G]Age of [Ab]Sin
[F]Fast forward till I [Fsus4]underst[F]and the [C]age I'm [F]in[C/E] [D]
And it's always the [G]old[D/F#] guys[Em7] b**[Dsus2]ching
About t[C/E]he young guys gr[Bm/D]owing beards
[C]Or turning i[Bb]nto sissies or someth[F]ing
While they're trying to [Bb]hold b[F/A]ack t[Gm]ime [F]As i[Eb]f that [Dm/F]isn't weird
Meanw[Eb/G]hile the young[Db] 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]
If this is the [G]best[D/F#] of t[Em7]imes[Dsus2] or if[C/E] it's the [Bm/D]worst
[C]There's some[Bb] difference of opinion out there[F]
Everyone is a [Bb]gen[F/A]ius [Gm]but [F]no o[Eb]ne has [Dm/F]any friends
Or i[Eb/G]s it the other[Db] way around
[Ab]Not going back to the [Absus4]Age of G[Ab]old or the [Eb/G]Age of S[Ab]in
[F]Fast forward till I un[Fsus4]derstan[F]d the a[C/E]ge I'm i[F]n[C/E] [D]
Sometimes I look at the [Bm]Moon
And I think I k[Abm]now just how she feels
[Gmaj7]Going round and round us again
[E]As we go round the Sun
Watching us as [Bm]fools and g[Abm]eniuses 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]
[E] [B/D#] [C#m] [B] [A] [E/G#] [A] [G] [D]
E|------------------- B|------------------- G|--------------4-- D|--------1--4----- A|--2--2----------- E|-------------------
And everyone [G]knows [D/F#]about[Em7] wha[Dsus2]t's ov[C/E]er and don[Bm/D]e
And t[C]ied up with [Bb]pretty ribbons on it[F]
One king after [Bb]ano[F/A]ther [Gm]with[F] a m[Eb]ad one [Dm/F]and a queen or two
Thro[Eb/G]wn in for good[Db] measure and meanwhile
We can m[Ab]ake 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]
So I'm hitting [G]fast[D/F#] forw[Em7]ard[Dsus2] [C/E] [Bm/D]
[C] [Bb]
[F]Come on get on [Bb]boa[F/A]rd![Gm] [F] [Eb] [Dm/F]
You [Eb/G]don't wanna be[Db] late now...
[Ab]Not going back to the [Absus4]Age of G[Ab]old or the [Eb/G]Age of [Ab]Sin
[F]Fast forward till I [Fsus4]underst[F]and the [C]age I'm [F]in[C/E] [D]
[G] [D/F#] [Em7] [Dsus2] [C/E] [Bm/D] [C] [Bb] [F]
[Bb] [F/A] [Gm] [F] [Eb] [Dm/F] [Eb/G] [Db]
