[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.

[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!


[Bridge]

G C D (x3)

Okay now.
G C D
Okay, what?
G C D
Okay yeah.

G C D

[Chorus]
         G                C
Oh oh oh 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                  B
Less and less will show up.
Em               Am      D
Guess it's gotta blow up soon.

[Outro]
    G             C
Ooh, 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                  B
Less and less will show up.
Em               Am      D     G
Guess it's gotta blow up soon.
