Intro - G - Cadd9 - D = 2x's 
 
 
 
(verse 1) 
G 
It's living in the moment today, 
                                         Cadd9 
Got down ont he floor and played with my little girl, 
       G 
For a little while, 
       G 
It's crazy how much she's grown, 
                                   Cadd9 
It seems last I looked, she was so small,  
                  G 
But she sure ain't now, 
 
 
(bridge) 
          Am7                                    G 
But she's around that age her first memories are made, 
      Am7 
Oh I remember being that young once, 
D 
I think it was yesterday, 
 
 
(chorus) 
G     D     Cadd9  D    G     D 
Time flies, blows  by, feels like, 
     Cadd9            D 
I've missed so many things, 
Em7   D      Cadd9   G/B 
Time flies, and sometimes, 
Am7    D                     G - Cadd9 
God I wish you'd clip it's wings, 
 
 
 
(verse 2) 
G 
Another day is winding down, 
 
There you stand in that cotton gown, 
       Cadd9                    G 
The one you wore when we first made love, 
G 
Back when this was just a dream, no house, no kids, 
                Cadd9           G 
The only thing we had then, was us, 
 
 
(bridge) 
         Am7                                 G 
And babe I can't help but miss that now and then, 
      Am7 
Cause all those old tomorrows, 
D 
Ain't coming back again, 
 
 
(chorus) 
G     D     Cadd9  D    G     D 
Time flies, blows  by, feels like, 
     Cadd9            D 
I've missed so many things, 
Em7   D      Cadd9   G/B 
Time flies, and sometimes, 
Am7    D                     G 
God I wish you'd clip it's wings, 
 
 
 
(lead chords - G - D - Cadd9  - D = 2x's) 
 
 
 
(ending chorus) 
Em7   D    Cadd9  G/B - Am7 
Time flies, God    I, 
   D                    G - Cadd9 - D 
I wish you'd clip it's wings, 
G                 Cadd9           D 
God why can't you clip it's wings, 
G         Cadd9 - D 
Time flies,  
G         Cadd9 - D 
Time flies, 
G                 Cadd9           D 
God why can't you clip it's wings, 
G         Cadd9 - D 
Time flies, 
G         Cadd9 - D 
Time flies,
