| Allow me to | exaggerate a | memory or | two |
| G | Em | Dsus2 | |
| Where summers lasted | longer than, longer tha | n we do |
| C | Em | Dsus2 | Em | |
| When n | othing really m | attered except for | me to be with | you |
| C | Dsus2 | G | |
| But in | time we all f | orgot and we all g | rew |
| C | Em | |
| Your melo | dy sounds as s | weet |
| Dsus2 | Em | |
| as the | first time it was s | ung |
| C | G | Dsus2 | |
| With a l | ittle bit more c | haracter for | show |
| C | Em | Dsus2 | Em | |
| And | by the time you f | ather's heard of | all the wrong you've | done |
| C | Dsus2 | G | Em | G | |
| Well i'm p | utting out the l | antern f | ind your | own way back h | ome |
| G | Em | C | G | |
| I | f i've forgotten | how to sing b | efore i sung this | song |
| G | Em | Dsus2 | |
| I'll w | rite it all a | cross the wall, | before my job is done |
| C | Em | Dsus2 | Em | |
| And i'll | even have the c | ourtesy of a | dmitting i was | wrong |
| C | Dsus2 | G | |
| As the f | inal words b | efore im dead and g | one |
| C | Em | |
| You've never b | een so dev | ine |
| Dsus2 | Em | |
| In ac | cepting your d | efeat |
| C | G | Dsus2 | |
| And i've n | ever been more s | cared to be a | lone |
| C | Em | Dsus2 | |
| If l | ove in not e | nough to put my e | nemies to sleep |
| C | Dsus2 | G | Em | G | |
| then im p | utting out the l | antern f | ind your o | wn way back | home. |
| This is a short song. But i absolutely love it. |
| Thanks to Brendon. :) |
