Fast Forward

	  		

                 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 

Scared of their own shadows and scared to take a fall 
       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 
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 
               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 
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 
               G   D/F# Em7 Dsus2 C/E       Bm/D 
So I'm hitting fast forward 
C           Bb  
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
