Summer of the Lily pond how long I didn't know
F# D#m
half way there your golden hair
G#m C#
It just started to show
G#m C#
The way things tend to go
G#m C#7
It started out so slow
F# D#m
I guess I just don't understand
F# D#m
How a good thing becomes bad
Chorus
G#m C#
Oh and I just wanted it to be
G#m C#
What I wanted it to be
G#m C#7
But I was wrong about it then
F# D#m
The Summer of the shrug it off
G#m C#
The songs you didn't know
F# D#m
The lily spread around your head
G#m C#
It's so hard to see your soul
G#m C#
The way things tend to go
G#m C#
It got all out of control
F# D#m
I guess you just don't understand
F# D#m
How a good thing becomes bad

Oh and I just wanted it to be

How you held it in your hand
G#m C#
Oh and you wouldn't set it free

And I hope you're not again

And I was wrong about down town
F# G#m A#m G#m F#
I was wrong about how the one should be the world
G#m A#m G#m
How should I have the confidence
F# G#m C#
Of the thought of being wrong before
F# G#m A#m G#m
And I was wrong about that again
F# G#m A#m G#m F#
I was wrong about how the one should wait
G#m A#m G#m
How should I have the confidence
F# G#m C#
And I thought I'd been right before
I was wrong that I've been right before
I was wrong about it then
I was wrong about it then
but I won't be wrong again
