G Em Dsus2 Em
Allow me to exaggerate a memory or two
G Em Dsus2
Where summers lasted longer than, longer than we do
C Em Dsus2 Em
When nothing really mattered except for me to be with you
C Dsus2 G
But in time we all forgot and we all grew
C Em
Your melody sounds as sweet
Dsus2 Em
as the first time it was sung
C G Dsus2
With a little bit more character for show
C Em Dsus2 Em
And by the time you father's heard of all the wrong you've done
C Dsus2 G Em G
Well 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 sung this song
G Em Dsus2
I'll write it all across the wall, before my job is done
C Em Dsus2 Em
And i'll even have the courtesy of admitting i was wrong
C Dsus2 G
As the final words before im dead and gone
C Em
You've never been so devine
Dsus2 Em
In accepting your defeat
C G Dsus2
And i've never been more scared to be alone
C Em Dsus2
If love in not enough to put my enemies to sleep
C Dsus2 G Em G
then im putting out the lantern find your own way back home
