How to Build a Time Machine Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]If [A]I h[F#m]ave[E]
[D]understood cor[A]rectly
Velocity [F#m]equals the distance [E]traveled
Divided by [D]time
I've read every [A]word ever printed
On [F#m]quantum physics
And [E]now it is time to [D]try
I read your [A]book, I found your [F#m]notes
I dusted this [A]thing [E]off and turned on
The [D]key
The rumbling mo[A]tors
The buzzing in[F#m]credible gadgets
The [E]hissing electri[D]city
And [A]now the moment has [F#m]come
[E]I'm traveling back in time
[A]

[Verse 2]
They're [Bm]run ning down [G]the [A]hall
I've started the countdown
They [Bm]want me [D]to stop[A]
But I don't think so
I'm [Bm]ready [G]to go[A]
Let's get [Bm]the job [D]done

[Verse 3]
[A]Beyond the paradoxical
All the lights [G]are dazzling[A]
Pass the planes, and trains,
and satellite [Bm]naviga[D]tion
[A]Pass the time I spent today
Through [G]the nearest [A]wormhole
In a stunning ball
Of white
The light [Bm]explodes [D]and lands on you

[Verse 4]
And you're [A]five
Always [F#m]running away
And I was [E]dying to kiss you
And [D]I
I don't want [A]to cry
I don't want to see
[F#m]Where the moving van takes [E]you
So I travel [D]on
Beyond [A]the stars
At one hundred [F#m]and eighty-six
thousand thousand [E]miles per second
I can [D]fly
Forward [A]a few years
To nineteen hun[F#m]dred and seventy nine
[E]I caught a glimpse of the sky
[A]

[Verse 5]
They're [Bm]com ing down
[A]the road
They're coming to get me
I nev[Bm]er should h[D]ave co[A]me
I hide the time machine
I'm [Bm]run ning down [G]the [A]hall
I think I'm in my old [Bm]house[D][A]

[Verse 6]
Pass the place where I grew [A]up
Number nine Lake [G]Road
[A]Pass the swimming pool
And Mable park
And past Troy Clif[D]ford's [A]house
To the Argonaut ?
To the fish and chip shop
Out the back and down the road
To the [Bm]place I got [D]beat [A]up
[E][A][Bm][G]

[Verse 7]
[A]
Hey, put that rock [Bm]down[G]
[A]Can't you see he's half
[Bm]your [A]size?[Bm][G][A]
Hey, he looks [Bm]familiar[G]
[A]Oh my god, he's me, age nin[Bm]e[G][A]

[Verse 8]
Put your shoes [A]on
And [Bm]run away from [G]here
[A]I can't get involved
This is [Bm]all so w[G]eird[A][D][A][Em]
I'm [F#m]meeting myself
This is [D]all so clear

[Interlude 1]

[Bm][F#m][D][A][F#m][D][A]

[Verse 9]
All the things I've [A]lost
All [D]the people I've hurt
All the times I [A]lied
All the mo[D]ments wasted
All I never [A]did
All the dreams I [D]had
All the things I would change
[A]I can[D] change the[A]m[D]

[Verse 10]
All the things I've [A]lost
All the people I've [D]hurt
All the times [A]I lied
All [D]the moments [A]wasted
[D][A][Bm][D][A][F#m]

[Verse 11]
[E]
I'm gonna [Bm]make right
[D]What I did wrong
[A]And change how the fu
[F#m]ture has come
Through ap[E]pliance of science
[D]I'll take a hold of my en[A]emies
Take their obscen[F#m]ities
Kiss them, and [E]leave them like
lovers who've [D]gone
I'll call my [A]dad
I'll tell him [F#m]I miss him
And tell [E]my reflection: 'it's
not [D]your fault'
And [A]now the moment has [F#m]come
[E]I'm traveling back in time
[A]

[Verse 12]
They're [G]running down the [A]hall
I've started the countdown
They [G]want me [A]to stop
But I don't think so
I'm [Bm]ready [G]to [A]go
Let's get [G]the job done

[Verse 13]
[A]Put your shoes on and
Run away [Bm]from [G]here
[A]I can't get involved
This is [Bm]all so w[A]eird
[G](It's me aged [A]nine)
Let's get [Bm]the job done

[Verse 14]
[A]All the things I've los[D]t
[A]All the peo[G]ple I've hurt
[A]All the times I lied
All the mo[G]ments [Em]wasted
[A]All I n[D]ever did[A]
All [Bm]the dreams [G]I had
[A]All the things I would change
I [G]can change [Em]them

[Verse 15]
[A]Beyond the paradoxical
All the light[Bm]s are[A] dazzling
Pass the planes, and trains,
and satellite [Bm]navigation
[A]Pass the time I spent today
Through [Bm]the nearest [G]wor[A]mhole
In a stunning ball
Of white
The light [Bm]explodes into another moment
