Folkin' Around

G           Em          C            G
Allow me to exaggerate a memory or two
G                    Em           C              Am
Where summers lasted longer than, longer than we do
Em                   G                   Am              G
Where nothing really mattered except for me to be with you
C                  Am                   G     G   C   D  Em
But in time we all forgot and we all grew

Em                    G             Am               G
Your melody sounds as sweet as the first time it was sung
Em                    G             A5
With a little bit more character for show
Em                            G                    A5
And by the time, your father's heard of all the wrong, you've done
C                   Am                B               G
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've sung this song
G                    Em           C              Am
I'll write it all across the wall before my job is done
Em                   G                                Am
And I'll even have the courtesy of admitting I was wrong
C                  Am                   G     G   C   D  Em
As the final words before I'm dead and gone

Em                    G             Am               G
You've never been so divine in accepting your defeat
Em                        G             A
And I've never been more scared to be alone
Em                G               Am
If love is not enough to put my enemies to sleep
C                   Am                Bm               G
Then I'm putting out the lantern find your own way back home
