Verse 1
You [D]see all the flowers in the [G]weeds
You're [D]scared of the dark when you [G]sleep
You [D]cover up your arms with your [G]sleeves
Even in hundred degree[D]degree heat [G]
Your [D]father was awfully [G]mean
Your [D]favorite color is [G]green
It [D]reminds you of the summer you turned [G]three
Runnin' through sprinklers on your [D]street [G]
Pre-Chorus
And you [G]laugh and you [D]dance in the [A]wind
And you [G]sway and you [D]hug and you [A]kiss
But there's [G]darkness be[D]behind those [A]eyes
Even [D]when you [G]smile
Chorus
[Bm]Oh, summer [D]child
[Bm]You don't have to act like all you [D]feel is mild
[Bm]You don't really love the Sun, it [D]drives you wild
You're [Bm]lyin', summer [D]child
Verse 2
[Em]Aren't you way too [D]busy takin' carе of every[A]everybody
To take [B]carе of your[G]yourself?
[Em]When the Sun goes mis[D]missing, aren't the flowers just as [A]pretty?
Aren't the [B]oceans just as [D]deep?
The trees as [A]green? And as for [Am]me
I'll watch [B]you weep [G]
Chorus
[Bm]Oh, summer [D]child
