G Em C G
Allow me to exaggerate a memory or two
G Em C Am
Where summers lasted longer than, longer than we do
Em G Am G
Where nothing really mattered except for me to be with you
C Am G G C D Em
But in time we all forgot and we all grew
Em G Am G
Your melody sounds as sweet as the first time it was sung
Em G A5
With a little bit more character for show
Em G A5
And by the time, your father's heard of all the wrong, you've done
C Am B G
I'm putting out the lantern find your own way back home
G Em C G
If I've forgotten how to sing before I've sung this song
G Em C Am
I'll write it all across the wall before my job is done
Em G Am
And I'll even have the courtesy of admitting I was wrong
C Am G G C D Em
As the final words before I'm dead and gone
Em G Am G
You've never been so divine in accepting your defeat
Em G A
And I've never been more scared to be alone
Em G Am
If love is not enough to put my enemies to sleep
C Am Bm G
Then I'm putting out the lantern find your own way back home
