Gm D# A# F/A Paths in the sky, paths in the sky Gm D# A# F/A That's you and me, and we'll always be Gm D# A# F/A Half hitting highs, half flying blind Gm D# A#/A Till death divides, that's you and I Gm D# A# F In your ragged coat one boring night Gm D# A# You dragged me out to cure the blues A# F/A Gm That seemed to be destroying me Gm D# Gm Said tell me all your brutal news A# F/A Gm At the back of the bar in the basement D# A# By candlelight I couldn't hide Those battles I could once survive Now seemed to be destroying me You shook your head, laughed when I said "What a waste of an education" Chorus: Gm D# A# Time flying on a path, moving through the sky F/A Gm I don't ever want to land Gm D# A# Flying on a path, moving through the sky Dm Gm There's no way to stop the time Gm D# A# Flying on a path, moving through the sky F/A Gm Play along and make it last Gm D# A# Flying on a path, moving through the sky So without you now, where would I be? So many trials and fantasies When I was broke you covered me Our actions speak in a heavenly Substitute for a conversation Chorus: Time flying on a path Moving through the sky I don't ever want to land Flying on a path Moving through the sky There's no way to stop the time Flying on a path Moving through the sky But we're doing what we can Flying on a path Know we're flying blind Paths in the sky, paths in the sky Till death divides, that's you and I Till the stars mutate Till a meteor hits your apartment Sparks radiate your veins Wearing sequined gloves I saw the vase in the space, two faces Took me a lifetime of contemplation Chorus: Time flying on a path Moving through the sky I wish I could stop the time Flying on a path Moving through the sky Tried to sneak out through the back Flying on a path Moving through the sky Play along and make it last Flying on a path Know we're flying blind There's no way to stop the time Flying on a path Know we're flying blind You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  A#  Dm  D#  F  Gm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
