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