[Intro 1]
[D]
[B][E][B][C#m][B]
[A][B][A][E][G]
[D]

[Verse 1]
I'm hitting fast [G]for[D]ward
[Em]Seems like[D] we'd gott[C]en kind of s[D]tuck
[C]Time to get out [Bb]of town and try [F]to
Set the con[Bb]trols [F]for [Gm]some
[F]time [Eb]off in th[Cm]e future[Dm]
Where [Eb]people will be [Db]happy
instead [Ab]of

[Verse 2]
Getting dumber [Ab]and getting
scareder 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
[E]

[Verse 3]
[D]
And if I could [G]see [D]my [Em]self
[D]from [C]some other [D]planet
Would I be [C]shaking my head [Bb]sadly [F]or
Would I be [Bb]laugh[F]ing
[Gm]Saying [F]it's alway[Eb]s been the[Dm] same
[Eb]But anyway[Db]

[Verse 4]
[Ab]Not going back to the Age [Eb]of[Ab]
Gold or the [Eb]Age [Ab]of Si[Eb]n[F]
Fast forward till I understand
the age I'm in
[C]

[Verse 5]
[D]
And it's always the [G]old [D]guys [Em]bitching
[D]About the[C] young guys
growing [D]beards
[C]Or turning into sis[Bb]sies [F]or something
While they're trying to [Bb]hold [F]back tim[Gm]e
[F]As if [Eb]that isn't weird[Dm]
[Eb]Meanwhile [Db]the young guys are

[Verse 6]
[Ab]Waiting for respect when what
they wanna be is cool
Cool calm and collected just as
if that isn't strange
Or they [F]wanna blow the whistle,
ring the bell and change the rules
When the game goes on forever
It's just the uniforms that change
[E]

[Verse 7]
[Dm]
[D]If this is the bes[G]t of [D]times [Em]or[D]
[C]if it's the[D] worst
There's [C]some difference
[Bb]of opinion out [F]there
Everyone is a [Bb]geni[F] us
[Gm]But no o[F]ne has a[Eb]ny frien[Dm]ds
Or [Eb]is it the o[Bb]ther way a[Db]round

[Verse 8]
[Ab]Not going back to the Age [Eb]of[Ab]
Gold or the [Eb]Age [Ab]of Si[Eb]n[F]
Fast forward till I understand the
[C]age [F]I'm in

[Interlude 1]
[F][C][D]

[Verse 9]
Sometimes I look at the [Bm]Moon
And I think I [Abm]know just how she feels
[G]Going round and round us again
As [Em]we go[E] round the Sun
Watching us [Em]as f[Bm]ools
and [Abm]geniuses rush in
And [G]you and me age disgracefully
And [Em]have [E]way too much fun

[Interlude 2]
[E][Bm][E][G#m]
[G][Em][E]
[Bm]
[G#m]
[G][Em][E]
[B]
[E][B][C#m][B][A][B][A][E][G]
[D]

[Verse 10]
And everyone [G]knows [D]about[Em]
[D]what's [C]over and don[D]e
[C]And tied up [G]with pretty [Bb]ribbons on [F]it
One king after [Bb]an ot[F]her
[Gm]With a mad[F] one a[Eb]nd a
queen [Dm]or two
[Eb]Thrown in for good [Db]measure

[Verse 11]
and meanwhile
[Ab]We can make the future,
make it every bit as clear
Make a friendly Star Trek universe,
'cause everything's allowed
The [F]only place that's seriously
strange to be is here
And the only time that's
maddeningly mysterious is [E]now

[Verse 12]
[D]So I'm hitting fast for[G]war[D]d
[Em][D]

[Verse 13]
[C]
[D]Com[C]e on [G]get[Bb][F]
[Bb]on b[F]oard![Gm][F]
[Eb]You don't wanna be late [Dm]now.[Eb]..[Db]

[Verse 14]
[Ab]Not going back to the Age [Eb]of Gold[Ab]
or the [Eb]Age o[Ab]f Si[Eb]n[F]

[Outro 1]
Fast forward till I understand the age I'm in
[F][C][D][G][D][Em]
[D][C][D][C][Bb][F]
[Bb][F][Gm][F][Eb][F][Dm][Eb][Db]
