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
