This song is one of my favorites from 'Pretty. Odd.'. It's a lot of fun to play
and sing with friends, and pretty easy. Find out the strumming yourself, or (as I
do) just improvise. Enjoy! [:
G Em C G
Allow me to exaggerate a memory or two
C G
Where summers lasted longer than
Am D Dsus4 D
Well longer than we do
C G
When nothing really mattered
Am Em
Except for me to be with you
C Am G
But in time we all forgot and we all grew
C G
Your melody sounds as sweet
Am Em
As the first time it was sung
C G D Dsus4 D
With a little bit more character for show
C G
And by the time your father's heard
Am Em
Of all the wrong you've done
C Am
I'm putting out the lantern
Am7 G
Find your own way back home
G Em
If I'd forgotten how to sing
C G
Before I sung this song
C G
I'd write it all across this wall
Am D Dsus4 D
Before my job is done
C G
And I'll even have the courtesy
Am Em
Of admitting I was wrong
C Am G
As the final words before I'm dead and gone
C G
You've never been so divine
Am Em
In accepting your defeat
C G D Dsus4 D
And I've never been more scared to be alone
C G Am Em
If love is not enough to put my enemies to sleep
C Am
I'm putting out the lantern
Am7 G
Find your own way back home
