Standard (EADGBE)

Allow me to exaggerate a memory or two

Where summers lasted longer than

 Well longer than we do

 When nothing really mattered

 Except for me to be with you

 But in time we all forgot and we all grew

 Your melody sounds as sweet

 As the first time it was sung

 With a little bit more character for show

 And by the time your father's heard

 Of all the wrong you've done

 I'm putting out the lantern

Find your own way back home

If i've forgotten how to sing

 Before I sung this song

 I'll write it all across this wall

Before my job is done

 And I'll even have the courtesy

 Of admitting I was wrong

 As the final words before I'm dead and gone

 You've never been so divine

 In accepting your defeat

 And I've never been more scared to be alone

 If love is not enough to put my enemies to sleep
