Dm                     Am               C  Am
Counting all different ideas drifting away
Dm                            Am
Past and present they don’t matter
                         C  Am
Now the future’s sorted out
Dm                    Am
Watch her moving in elliptical patterns
            C
Think it’s not what you say
          Am
What you say is way too complicated
Dm                      Am                        C  Am
For a minute thought I couldn’t tell how to fall out

F
It’s twenty seconds till the last call
You’re going hey hey hey hey hey
G
Lie down you know it’s easy
Like we did it over summer long
 F
And I’ll be anything you ask and more
You’re going hey hey hey hey hey
 G
It’s not a miracle we needed
No I wouldn’t let you think so

Chorus:
F             Am                C  Am
Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it
F             Am                C
Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it

Girlfriend, oh your girlfriend's drifting away
Past and present 1855-1901
Watch them built up a material tower
Think it's not gonna stay anyway
Think it's overrated
For a minute through I couldn't tell how to fall out

It's twenty seconds till the last call
Callin' hey hey hey hey hey hey
Lie down you know it's easy
Like we did it through summer long

And I'll be anything you ask and more
Going hey, hey, hey, hey
It's not a miracle we needed
No I wouldn't let you think so

Chorus - x3
