         C                                F
Don’t remind me that somedays I’m a windshield
                                 C
And other days I’m just a lucky bug
As cold iron rails
      Dm          Em                F      G  C
Leave old mossy trails through the countryside

The crow and the bean field
Are my best friends but
Boy, I need a hug (Boy, I need a hug)
'Cause my heart stops without you
There's something about you
That makes me feel alive

Chorus:
F                       G          Am
If the green left the grass on the other side
F                      G       C
I would make like a tree and leave
F                          G              Am
But if I reached for your hand would your eyes
get wide
F                              G      C
Who knew the other side could be so green

Don't remind me
I'm a chickadee in love with the sky
But that's clearly not a lot to crow about
`Cause when the stars silhouette me
I'm scared they'll forget me
And flicker out
I taste honey, but I haven't seen the hive
Yeah, I didn't look, I didn't even try

But still my heart stops without you
'Cause there's something about you
That makes me feel alive

Chorus

Am  G  F                               Am  G  F
(Ooooooh) We are the honey and the bee (Ooooooh)
Em           F      G
Backyard of butterflies, surrounded me
Em             F         G
And I fell in love with you, like bees to honey
Em                F         G             Am
So let’s up and leave the weeping to the willow
tree
Em             F           G
And pour our tears in the sea
  Dm C G                                   Dm
I swear, there’s a lot of vegetables out there,
       Am         G
that crop up for air
           Dm     C G                           Dm
And yet I never thought, we were two peas in a pod
           Am        G
‘Till you suddenly bloomed and I knew
     F           Am    G
That I’d always love you
   F            Am       G
Oh I’ll always love you too

Chorus - x2

And if I reached for your hand
For the rest of my life
Who knew the other side could be so green?
