Intro/Verse/Folded
e|----------------------------|
B|-----10-----5-----5-----5---|
G|-----10-----5-----5-----5---|
D|-----10-----5-----5-----5---|
A|-----8------x-----3-----x---|
E|------------5-----------5---|
G Am7 C Am7
Note: The first Am7 and the second Am7 are played with different hand positions because
the C carries over into the second Am7's territory. To pull this off, play the first
Am7 without barring (index finger on top string), then play a barred C using your index
and ring fingers. To switch to the second Am7, use your middle finger to hit the 5th fret
on the top string, which also mutes the second string.

Lyrics
Counting all different ideas drifting away
Past and present, they don't matter.
Now the future's sorted out
Watch, you're moving in elliptical pattern
Think it's not what you say
What you say is way too complicated
For a minute thought I couldn't tell how to fall out.
It's twenty seconds 'til the last call, going "hey hey hey hey hey hey"
Lie down, you know it's easy like we did it all summer long
And I'll be anything you ask and more, going "hey hey hey hey hey hey"
It's not a miracle we needed, and no I wouldn't let you think so
Folded, folded, folded, folded
Girlfriend, you know your girlfriend's drifting away
Past and present, 1855-1901
Watch them build up a material tower
Think it's not gonna stay anyway
Think it's overrated
For a minute, thought I couldn't tell how to fall out
It's twenty seconds to the last call, going "hey hey hey hey hey"
Lie down, you know it's easy, like we did it all summer long
And I'll be anything you ask and more, going "hey hey hey hey hey"
It's not a miracle we needed, and no, I wouldn't let you think so
Folded, folded, folded, folded
Folded, folded, folded, folded
