I was born in '67
The year of Sgt. Pepper
Cadd9/F
And Are You Experienced?
Asus4
Into a suburb of heaven
Yeah, it should've been forever
Cadd9/F
It all seems to make so much sense
CHORUS
Dsus
But after a while
CM7
You realize time flies
Dsus
And the best thing that you can do
Is take whatever comes to you
CM7
'Cause time flies
VERSE 2
Asus4
She said luck is all you make it
You just reach out and take it
Cadd9/F
Now let's dance a while
Asus4
She said nothing ever happens
If you don't make it happen
Cadd9/F
And if you can't laugh then smile
CHORUS
Dsus
But after a while
CM7
You realize time flies
Dsus
And the best thing that you can do
Is take whatever comes to you
CM7
'Cause time flies
Dsus
And laughing under summer showers
Is still the way I see you now

BRIDGE
Asus4
How does time break down
Cadd9/F
With no marker, things slow down.
Asus4
A conference of the strange
Cadd9/F
And your family is deranged
Asus4
I could tell you what I'm thinking
While we sit here drinking
Cadd9/F
But I'm not sure where to start
Asus4
You see there's something wrong here
I'm sorry if I'm not clear,
Cadd9/F
Can you stop smoking your cigar?
CHORUS
Dsus
But after a while
CM7
You realize time flies
Dsus
And the best thing that you can do
Is take whatever comes to you
CM7
'Cause time flies
Dsus
And the coat your wore to Alton Towers
It's still the way I see you now
