Gm            D#                A#  F 
Paths in the sky, paths in the sky
Gm             D#                   A#  F 
That's you and me, and we'll always be
Gm                D#             A#  F 
Half hitting highs, half flying blind
Gm                D#                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            Gm
That seemed to be destroying me
Gm           D#              Gm
Said tell me all your brutal news

A#                   F             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                    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                      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
