C G F
You see all the flowers in the weeds
C G F
You're scared of the dark when you sleep
C G F
You cover up your arms with your sleeves
Em Dm C
Even in hundred-degree heat
C G F
Your father was awfully mean
C G F
Your favorite color is green
C G F
It reminds you of the summer you turned three
Em Dm C
Runnin' through sprinklers on your street
F Em Dm
And you laugh and you dance in the wind
F Em Dm
And you sway and you hug and you kiss
F Em Dm
But there's darkness behind those eyes
F Am
Even when you smile
G C
Oh, summer child
Am G
You don't have to act like all you
Am G C
Feel is mild
Am G
You don't really love the sun
F G C
It drives you wild
G E7 Am G F
You're lyin', summer child
( G C )
F Em
Aren't you way too busy
G Dm
Taking care of everybody
A C
To take care of yourself?
G Em
When the sun goes missing
G Dm
Aren't the flowers just as pretty?
A C
Aren't the oceans just as deep?
G
The trees as green?
F
And as for me
A Am
I'll watch you weep
G A C
Oh, summer child
Am G
You don't have to act like all you
Am G C
Feel is mild
Am G
You don't really love the sun
F G C
It drives you wild
G E7 Am
You're lyin', summer child
[Final] G F G C
