Capo 3
DGDGD
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
AEAE
You better hold on tight to those little lives
AE
In the blink of an eye it's out of sight
AG
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
DG
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
AEAE
You better hold on tight to those changing lives
AE
In the blink of an eye they're out of sight
AG
I know, I know it seems so slow
AG
But it's flying by
D
There they go on their own
AG
Flying by
D
You're waving good bye with a tear in your eye
AGD
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
DG
It just ain't fair how it's flying by
AEAE
You better hold on tight to that sweet, sweet life
AE
In the blink of an eye they're out of sight
AG
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
DG
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
DG
A prayer and a song as they lowered it down into the ground
AEAE
You better hold on tight it's a short, short life
AE
In the blink of an eye it's out of sight
AG
I know, I know it seems so slow
DG
Yeah, it seems so slow but it's flying by
DG
It's flying by
DG
It's flying by
DG
It's flying by
D G (repeat till fade out)
