[C] [D]
There once was a bittersweet man and they called him [F#] Lemon Boy.
He [G] was growing in my garden and I pulled him out [Em] by his hair [A] like a weed.
[D] And like weeds do, he only came and grew [F#] back again.
So [G] I figured this time I might as well [Em] let him be.
[F#m] [Am] [G] Lemon Boy [D] and me started to [F#] get along [E] together.
[A] [G] I helped him plant his [D] seeds and we'd mow [F#] the lawn in bad [E] weather.
[G] It's [D] actually pretty easy being [F#] nice [C#m] to [Em] a bitter [D] boy like [G] him.
So I got [A] myself a [G] citrus friend.

But soon his bittersweet started [F#] to rub off on me.
[G] You'd think smelling like lemon zest [Em] would be pretty [A] neat.
[D] I found out that my friends were more [F#] of the savory type.
[G] And they weren't too keen on [E] compromising with a nice lemon [A] pie.
[G] So Lemon Boy [D] and me, we just gotta [C#m] get along [E] together.
