[Intro]
D Bm G D Bm G
[Verse 1]
D Bm G DFlash, Mama's camera takes a picture for the Frigidaire door
Bm G ABy the scratch of that number two pencil growing north of the drawer
D Bm G DFresh new pair of Payless shoes, last name on a backpack
Bm GCosmic brownies, Elmer's glue, what happened to all that?
[Chorus]
D Bm7You blink and the minutes Go missing
G ATry to hold on but time keeps slipping
D Bm7 G AGrow a little bit and you learn life isn't all of what you think
D Bm7It's a firework, it's a lightning strike
G AIt's a Polaroid, it's black and white
D A/C# Bm7 GYou keep chugging along, but you'll always be looking back
D Bm7It all goes by in a flash
[Verse 2]
G A DThat's what they called me when I was the home team running back
Bm7 G D ACutting through the middle of the line with all of my speed
D Bm7 G AMiddle of season senior year, I tore something in my knee
D Bm G ATwelve long years of shoulder pads and that was the end for me
[Chorus]
D Bm7Yeah, you blink and the minutes Go missing
G ATry to hold on but time keeps slipping
D Bm7 G AGrow a little bit and you learn life isn't all of what you think
D Bm7It's a firework, it's a lightning strike
G AIt's a Polaroid, it's black and white
D A/C# Bm7 GYou keep chugging along, but you'll always be looking back
D Bm7 GIt all goes by in a flash
[Post-Chorus]
D GIt all goes by in a flash, whoo
[Bridge]
Em7You meet a girl, you ask her dad
D/F#You buy a ring that she can flash
GYou have some kids and get old
CLike that, everything becomes a flashback
[Chorus]
D Bm7You blink and the minutes Go missing
G ATry to hold on but time keeps slipping
D Bm7 G AGrow a little bit and you learn life isn't all of what you think
D Bm7It's a firework, it's a lightning strike
G AIt's a Polaroid, it's black and white
D A/C# Bm7 GYou keep chugging along, but you'll always be looking back
A Bm A G DIt all goes by in a flash
