[Intro]
Em A

[Verse 1]
Em A
Benevolent Collegiate rolled his eyes and walked away
Em
And if you could believe it
A Em
His stride is lengthened by his sense of wonder
A Em A
Oh well, I lost that shine – didn’t I?

[Chorus]
Em
Not long ago, you held me
Em
On the banks of rolling isles
Em
Not long ago, you read to me
Em A Em
Pedantic poetry and I would smile

[Verse 2]
Em
And if I could retrace it
G A
I’d match the steps we took
Em
To merely recreate it
G
Lie to myself
A
“Evеryone else don’t forgеt”

[Chorus]
C A
Not long ago, you held me
G Em
On the banks of rolling isles
C A
Not long ago, our middlebrow
G Em A C A
Status quo rituals sufficed

[Post-Chorus]
G Em C A
In a whirlwind spin around
G Em A
In a whirlwind spin around

[Solo]

F#m G

[Outro]
F
I waver in the night
C G
Toss, turn eleven times
F
And I won’t apologize
C A
For something I’m not sorry for
F
Mind racing overtime
C G
Turns out all my friends were right
F
And I won’t apologize
C A
For something I’m not sorry for
F
This cocktail is overpriced
C G
I’ll do my best to keep things light
F
And I won’t apologize
C A
For something I’m not sorry for
F
Lay barren, eulogize
C G
Holy water, lemon rind
F
And I won’t apologize
C A
For something I’m not sorry for
