Time Flies

D F#m D F#m D My how time flies F#m G And I'm trying to tie down my time Gm D F#m G Gm From flying away away away (hmm) D Well you could find me permanently entertaining F#m Running around butt naked when it was raining G And staining my kneecaps with blood and tree sap Gm Man I could stay in those days D Or making and creating anything of the sort F#m I didn't follow the other kid cookie cutting a tree fort G But I made a teepee Gm And my father helped me D My how time flies F#m G And I'm trying to tie down my time Gm D From flying away F#m My my many memories have gone by G Gm And I'm catching quite a supply of love in my life D Like it was yesterday I was nearly half my size F#m Pounding nails making potions with Pa and Clyde G would come with me outside While Pa sat in his chair Gm And I wished to the stars that he would stay there D I always loved to be sick over at grandmas F#m Wandering out to the alleyway wearing only pajamas G And she, she told me don't go touching the whiskey Gm So I turned rocks into my friends D I better leave it all, playing in the water for hours F#m Then rinsing off, and bearing it all outside in the shower G I'd be alone on a stone in the creek Gm And I was told to be a man when a hook's making me weak D What a treat it was, that damn candy store F#m Gave me a sweet tooth and an excuse G couldn't get away with that word before Gm And the candy man just gave me more, more, ohh D My how time flies F#m G And I'm trying to tie down my time Gm D From flying away F#m My my many memories have gone by G Gm And I'm catching quite a supply of love in my life D I've been to Keystone, Steamboat, Denver, Colorado F#m G I would ski down those slopes and up the mountain I'd go Can't forget about Crested Butte Gm Or backpacking north and south Manitou D Then I flew on a tandem across the pond F#m G While my mamma was pedaling I was singing the songs Gm I was singing the songs I was singing D My how time flies F#m G And I'm trying to tie down my time Gm D F#m G Gm From flying away away away
