Verse 1
(D major) (A major) (F sharp minor) (E major) If I have
(D major) understood correctly (A major)
Velocity (F sharp minor) equals the distance traveled (E major)
Divided by (D major) time
I've read every word (A major) ever printed
On (F sharp minor) quantum physics
And (E major) now it is time to try (D major)
I read your book, (A major) I found your notes (F sharp minor)
I dusted this (A major) thing off (E major) and turned on
The (D major) key
The rumbling mo (A major) tors
The buzzing incredible (F sharp minor) gadgets
The (E major) hissing electricity (D major)
And now (A major) the moment has (F sharp minor) come
(E major) I'm traveling back in time
(A major)
Verse 2
They're (B minor) run ning down (G major) the hall (A major)
I've started the countdown
They (B minor) want me (D major) to stop (A major)
But I don't think so
I'm (B minor) ready (G major) to go (A major)
Let's get the job (B minor) done (D major)

Verse 3
(A major) Beyond the paradoxical
All the lights are dazzling (G major) (A major)
Pass the planes, and trains,
and satellite (B minor) naviga (D major) tion
(A major) Pass the time I spent today
Through the nearest (G major) (A major) wormhole
In a stunning ball
Of white
The light explodes (B minor) and land (D major) s on you
Verse 4
And you're (A major) five
Always (F sharp minor) running away
And I was (E major) dying to kiss you
And (D major) I
I don't want to cry (A major)
I don't want to see
(F sharp minor) Where the moving van (E major) takes you
So I travel (D major) on
Beyond the stars (A major)
At one hundred (F sharp minor) and eighty-six
thousand thousand (E major) miles per second
I can (D major) fly
Forward a few (A major) years
To nineteen hun (F sharp minor) dred and seventy nine
(E major) I caught a glimpse of the sky
(A major)
Verse 5
They're (B minor) com ing down
(A major) the road
They're coming to get me

I think I'm in my old house (B minor) (D major) (A major)
Verse 6
Pass the place where I grew (A major) up
Number nine Lake (G major) Road
(A major) Pass the swimming pool
And Mable park
And past Troy Clif (D major) ford's house (A major)
To the Argonaut ?
To the fish and chip shop
Out the back and down the road
To the place (B minor) I got (D major) beat (A major) up
(E major) (A major) (B minor) (G major)
Verse 7
(A major)
Hey, put that rock down (B minor) (G major)
(A major) Can't you see he's half
(B minor) your size? (A major) (B minor) (G major) (A major)
Hey, he looks familiar (B minor) (G major)
(A major) Oh my god, he's me, age nine (B minor) (G major) (A major)
Verse 8
Put your shoes on (A major)
And (B minor) run away from here (G major)
(A major) I can't get involved
This is (B minor) all so (G major) weird (A major) (D major) (A major) (E minor)
I'm (F sharp minor) meeting myself
This is all so (D major) clear

(E major)
I'm gonna make (B minor) right
(D major) What I did wrong
(A major) And change how the fu
(F sharp minor) ture has come
Through ap (E major) pliance of science
I'll (D major) take a hold of my en (A major) emies
Take their obscen (F sharp minor) ities
Kiss them, and (E major) leave them like
lovers who've (D major) gone
I'll call my dad (A major)
I'll tell him I miss (F sharp minor) him
And tell my (E major) reflection: 'it's
not your (D major) fault'
And (A major) now the moment has (F sharp minor) come
(E major) I'm traveling back in time
(A major)

In a stunning ball
Of white
The light explodes (B minor) into another moment
