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?
