Capo 3
D G D G
D
It's bottles and bibs, rattles and cribs
G
Three am's again and again
D
Comfort the cry
G
Man, it's flying by
D
Swings and slides and tricycle rides
G
Skinning up knees and falling out of trees
D
It's like it's never gonna end
G
But it's flying by
A E A E
You better hold on tight to those little lives
A E
In the blink of an eye it's out of sight
A G
I know, I know it goes so slow
D
But it's flying by
D
Then it's braces and boots and bad attitudes
G
Boys and phones and every change in moods
D G
Trying times, man, but you'll survive
D
And it's supposed to be home at ten
G
You're late again Where the heck you been
D
When you're yelling and screaming
G
It don't seem like it's flying by
D
But it's flying by
A E A E
You better hold on tight to those changing lives
A E
In the blink of an eye they're out of sight
A G
I know, I know it seems so slow
A G
But it's flying by
D
There they go on their own
A G
Flying by
D
You're waving good bye with a tear in your eye
A G D
I know, I know you go so slow but it's flying by
D
They come back home and what do you know
G
Them kids have got some kids of their own
D
You can't believe how much they've grown
G
And where the time's gone
D
You look in the mirror there's gray in your hair
G
You're wondering how the world did that get there
D G
It just ain't fair how it's flying by
A E A E
You better hold on tight to that sweet, sweet life
A E
In the blink of an eye they're out of sight
A G
I know, I know it goes so slow
D
But it's flying by
D
When it's hospital beds
G
Last words said, did I do enough
D G
Holding hands and being there for the leaving
D
It's a line of cars parked on a hill
G
Family and friends perfectly still
D G
A prayer and a song as they lowered it down into the ground
A E A E
You better hold on tight it's a short, short life
A E
In the blink of an eye it's out of sight
A G
I know, I know it seems so slow
D G
Yeah, it seems so slow but it's flying by
D G
It's flying by
D G D G
It's flying by
D G D G
It's flying by
D G (repeat till fade out)
