Capo 3
D  G  D  G
It's Dbottles and bibs, rattles and cribs
GThree am's again and again
DComfort the cry
Man, it's Gflying by
DSwings and slides and tricycle rides
GSkinning up knees and falling out of trees
DIt's like it's never gonna end
But it's Gflying by
You better Ahold on Etight to Athose little Elives
In the Ablink of an eye Eit's out of sight
I Aknow, I know it Ggoes so slow
But it's Dflying by
Then it's Dbraces and boots and bad attitudes
GBoys and phones and every change in moods
DTrying times, man, but Gyou'll survive
DAnd it's supposed to be home at ten
You're Glate again Where the heck you been
When you're Dyelling and screaming
It don't seem like it's Gflying by
But it's Dflying by
You better Ahold on Etight to Athose changing Elives
In the Ablink of an eye tEhey're out of sight
I Aknow, I know it Gseems so slow
But it's Aflying Gby
DThere they go on their own
AFlying Gby
You're Dwaving good bye with a tear in your eye
I Aknow, I know you go so sGlow but it's Dflying by
They Dcome back home and what do you know
Them Gkids have got some kids of their own
DYou can't believe how much they've grown
GAnd where the time's gone
You Dlook in the mirror there's gray in your hair
You're Gwondering how the world did that get there
DIt just ain't fair how it's Gflying by
You better Ahold on Etight to that Asweet, sweet Elife
In the Ablink of an eye they're Eout of sight
I Aknow, I know it Ggoes so slow
But it's Dflying by
When it's Dhospital beds
Last words said, did I Gdo enough
Holding hands and Dbeing there for the Gleaving
It's a Dline of cars parked on a hill
GFamily and friends perfectly still
A Dprayer and a song as they lowered it down inGto the ground
You better Ahold on Etight it's a Ashort, short Elife
In the Ablink of an eye it's Eout of sight
I Aknow, I know it Gseems so slow
Yeah, it seems so slow but it's Dflying byG  
It's Dflying byG  
It's Dflying byG  D  G

Capo 3

D G D G

It's bottles and bibs, rattles and cribs

Three am's again and again

Comfort the cry

Man, it's flying by

Swings and slides and tricycle rides

Skinning up knees and falling out of trees

It's like it's never gonna end

But it's flying by

A E A E

You better hold on tight to those little lives

A E

In the blink of an eye it's out of sight

A G

I know, I know it goes so slow

But it's flying by

Then it's braces and boots and bad attitudes

Boys and phones and every change in moods

D G

Trying times, man, but you'll survive

And it's supposed to be home at ten

You're late again Where the heck you been

When you're yelling and screaming

It don't seem like it's flying by

But it's flying by

A E A E

You better hold on tight to those changing lives

A E

In the blink of an eye they're out of sight

A G

I know, I know it seems so slow

A G

But it's flying by

There they go on their own

A G

Flying by

You're waving good bye with a tear in your eye

A G D

I know, I know you go so slow but it's flying by

They come back home and what do you know

Them kids have got some kids of their own

You can't believe how much they've grown

And where the time's gone

You look in the mirror there's gray in your hair

You're wondering how the world did that get there

D G

It just ain't fair how it's flying by

A E A E

You better hold on tight to that sweet, sweet life

A E

In the blink of an eye they're out of sight

A G

I know, I know it goes so slow

But it's flying by

When it's hospital beds

Last words said, did I do enough

D G

Holding hands and being there for the leaving

It's a line of cars parked on a hill

Family and friends perfectly still

D G

A prayer and a song as they lowered it down into the ground

A E A E

You better hold on tight it's a short, short life

A E

In the blink of an eye it's out of sight

A G

I know, I know it seems so slow

D G

Yeah, it seems so slow but it's flying by

D G

It's flying by

D G D G

It's flying by
