                 G  D/F# Em7 Dsus2  
I'm hitting fast forward

       C/E             Bm/D   
Seems like we'd gotten kind of stuck

C           Bb                   F
Time to get out of town and try to

           Bb    F/A  Gm  F   Eb     Dm/F
Set the controls for sometime off in the future

      Eb                Db
Where people will be happy instead of 

Ab
Getting dumber and getting scared-er all the time

       F
Either miserable with millions or dying for a dime

                                                   C/E  D
Desperate to live forever or lucky to live at all

                G  D/F# Em7 Dsus2 
And if I could see  myself  from  

C/E        Bm/D               C              Bb      F
some other planet Would I be shaking my head sadly or

           Bb   F/A Gm  F  Eb     Dm/F        Eb
Would I be laughing Saying it's always been the same

  Db
But anyway

Ab                    Absus4  Ab         Eb/G   Ab                 
Not going back to the Age of Gold or the Age of Sin

F                   Fsus4  F       C       F    C/E D
Fast forward till I understand the age I'm in

                    G  D/F# Em7 Dsus2 
And it's always the old guys bitching

       C/E             Bm/D 
About the young guys growing beards

C           Bb                   F
Or turning into sissies or something

                        Bb    F/A  Gm  F   Eb     Dm/F
While they're trying to hold back time As if that isn't weird

     Eb/G          Db
Meanwhile the young guys are

Ab
Waiting for respect when what they wanna be is cool

F
Or they wanna blow the whistle, ring the bell and change the rules

               G   D/F# Em7 Dsus2 C/E       Bm/D
If this is the best of times or if it's the worst

C           Bb                              F
There's some difference of opinion out there

              Bb F/A  Gm  F   Eb     Dm/F
Everyone is a genius  but no one has any friends

    Eb/G          Db
Or is it the other way around

Ab                    Absus4  Ab         Eb/G    Ab 
Not going back to the Age of Gold or the Age of Sin

F                     Fsus4  F      C/E     F  C/E D
Fast forward till I understand the age I'm in

                        Bm
Sometimes I look at the Moon

               Abm
And I think I know just how she feels

Gmaj7
Going round and round us again

E
As we go round the Sun

               Bm         Abm
Watching us as fools and geniuses 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

             G     D/F# Em7 Dsus2 C/E       Bm/D
And everyone knows about what's over and done

     C           Bb                   F
And tied up with pretty ribbons on it

               Bb F/A  Gm  F   Eb     Dm/F
One king after another with a mad one and a queen or two

    Eb/G          Db
Thrown in for good measure and meanwhile

        Ab
We can make the future, make it every bit as clear

F
The only place that's seriously strange to be is here

               G   D/F# Em7 Dsus2 C/E       Bm/D
So I'm hitting fast forward

F              Bb F/A  Gm  F   Eb     Dm/F
Come on get on board!

    Eb/G          Db
You don't wanna be late now...

Ab                    Absus4  Ab         Eb/G   Ab                 
Not going back to the Age of Gold or the Age of Sin

F                   Fsus4  F       C       F    C/E D
Fast forward till I understand the age I'm in
