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
                     E B/D# C#m B A E/G# A G D

             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
