Key: G
Introduction:
G Em C G
Allow me to exaggerate a memory or two
G D/F# Em
Where summer's lasted longer than
C D
Longer than we do
C Em G
When nothing really mattered
C Em
Except for me to be with you
C Em D
But in time we all forgot and
G
We all grew
C Em
Your melody sounds as sweet
D G
As the first time it was sung
C Em G D
With a little bit more character for show
C Em
And by the time your father's heard
Am
Of all the wrong you've done
C Em Am G
Then I'm putting out the lantern
D G
Find your own way back home
G Em
If I've forgotten how to sing
C G
Before I've sung this song
G Em
I'll write it all across this wall
C D
Before my job is done
C Em G
And I'll even have the courtesy
C Em
Of admitting I was wrong
C Em D G
As the final words before I'm dead and gone
C Em
You've never been so divine
D G
In accepting your defeat
C Em G D
And I've never been more scared to be alone
C Em Am
If love is not enough to put my enemies to sleep
C Em Am G
Then I'm putting out the lantern
D G
Find your own way back home
