[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

[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
