Intro:
G C D
G C D


Verse 1:
    G     C   D
See the footprints in the cave?
    G   C    D
I would follow them, if I were brave,
    G    C     D   Em
To find out why there's no second set of
Am        C
Footprints in the cave.

G C D (x2)

    G   C    D
In the attic of this house,
    G   C   D
On the wall behind a propped up couch
   G     C    D    Em
Is a door that somehow leads into
  Am       C
The basement of this house.

Chorus:
 G        C
Oh, the less you hold out,
D         Em
More and more will fold out.
G  C    D
Live for the afternoon.
  G        C
But oh, the more you grow up,
D
Less and less will show up.
Em        Am   D
Guess it's gotta blow up soon.

G Am D
Em Am C

Verse 2:
    G   C   D
If you take another look
    G    C    D
In the workings of your pop up book,
     G   C    D     Em
There's a secret message left there for you.
Em      Am
Take another look.

G C D (x2)

    G    C    D
If you choose a place to dig,
    G   C      D
And you make a hole that's deep and big enough,
G    C  D    Em    Am
You will find exactly what you need:
 G    C
A place to dig.
Yeah!

G  C    D
Live for the afternoon.
  G        C
But oh, the more you grow up,
D         B
Less and less will show up.
Em        Am   D
Guess it's gotta blow up soon.
