[Verse 1]
Em A7
Benevolent Collegiate rolled his eyes and walked away
Em
And if you could believe it
A7 Em
His stride is lengthened by his sense of wonder
A7 Em A7
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 A7 Em
Pedantic poetry and I would smile
[Verse 2]
Em
And if I could retrace it
Gmaj7 A7
I'd match the steps we took
Em
To merely recreate it
Gmaj7
Lie to myself
A7
"Evеryone else don't forgеt"
[Chorus]
C A7
Not long ago, you held me
G Em
On the banks of rolling isles
C A7
Not long ago, our middlebrow
G Em A7 C A
Status quo rituals sufficed
[Post-Chorus]
G Em C A7
In a whirlwind spin around
G Em A
In a whirlwind spin around
[Solo]

[Outro]
Fmaj7
I waver in the night
C G
Toss, turn eleven times
Fmaj7
And I won't apologize
Cmaj7 A7
For something I'm not sorry for
Fmaj7
Mind racing overtime
C G
Turns out all my friends were right
Fmaj7
And I won't apologize
Cmaj7 A7
For something I'm not sorry for
Fmaj7
This cocktail is overpriced
C G
I'll do my best to keep things light
Fmaj7
And I won't apologize
Cmaj7 A7
For something I'm not sorry for
Fmaj7
Lay barren, eulogize
C G
Holy water, lemon rind
Fmaj7
And I won't apologize
Cmaj7 A7
For something I'm not sorry for
