     D                          G
You see all the flowers in the weeds
         D                           G
You're scared of the dark when you sleep
     D                             G
You cover up your arms with your sleeves
                        Em D
Even in hundred degree heat

Your father was awfully mean
Your favorite color is green
It reminds you of the summer you turned three
Runnin' through sprinklers on your street

         G             D            A
And you laugh and you dance in the wind
          G           D           A
And you sway and you hug and you kiss
             G          D          A
But there's darkness behind those eyes
       C        Bm
Even when you smile

Chorus:
Bm           D
Oh, summer child
Bm                                          D
You don't have to act like all you feel is mild
Bm                                            D
You don't really love the Sun, it drives you wild
        Bm             D
You're lyin', summer child

Em                  D                        A
Aren't you way too busy takin' care of everybody
         B           G
To take care of yourself?
Em                    D                                 A
When the Sun goes missing, aren't the flowers just as pretty?
           B               D
Aren't the oceans just as deep?
               A               Am
The trees as green? And as for me
            B      G
I'll watch you weep

Chorus
