[E]
There once was a bittersweet man and they called him [Ab] Lemon Boy
He [A] was growing in my garden and I pulled him out by [Gbm] his hair
[B] like a weed
[E]
And like weeds do he only came and grew [Ab] back again
So [A] I figured this time I might as well let [Gbm] him be
[B] [Abm]
[A] Lemon Boy [E] and me
Started to [Ab] get along [Abm] together
[A] I helped him plant [E] his seeds and we followed [Ab] him on in [Abm] bad weather
[B]
[A] Inside shines [E] pretty seed [Ab] being nice to [Dbm] a bitter [E] boy [A] like him
So I got [B] myself a citrus [E] friend
But soon his bittersweet started [Ab] to rub off on me
He [A] thinks smelling like lemon zest would [Gbm] be [B] pretty neat
[E] I found out that my friends are more of [Ab] the savory type
[A] And they weren't too keen on compromising [Gb] with a nice lemon [Bm] [Abm] fight
[A] So Lemon Boy [E] and me we just gotta [Ab] get along [E] together
[Abm]
[A] I helped him plant [E] his seeds and we followed [Ab] him on in [Dbm] bad weather
[Abm]
[A] Inside shines [E] pretty seed [Ab] being nice to [Dbm] a bitter [E] boy [A] like him
So I got [B] myself a citrus [E] friend
But what if I run out of
[Ab] fertilizer?
What
[A] if the clouds run [Am] out of rain?
[A] What if Lemon Boy won't grow?
[E]
[Ab] What if beaches dry of sugar [A] cane?
[Am]
Stars [E]
would beach [Ab] themselves
Or the shells tear away from [A] their spines
It happens all [Am] the time
It [Dbm] happens [B] all [E] the time
[Ab]
[A]
[Am] [E]
[B] [A] Lemon Boy [E] and I, we're [Ab] gonna live
[Gbm] forever
[B] [A] Like snuff in a little [E] night, we'll [Ab] get around
[Gbm] [E] [A] Lemon Boy [E] and I, [Ab]
[E] we're gonna live forever
[A] Like snuff in a little [E] night, we'll [Ab] get around
[Dbm] [A] Forever
It's actually [E] pretty easy [Ab] being nice [Dbm] to [E] a bitter boy [A] like him
Cause we're [B] the bitterest boys [A] in town
Yeah, we're [B] the bitterest [E] guys [A] around
And I got [B] myself a [E] citrus friend
