C C
[Verse 1]
C E7 There once was a bittersweet man and they called him, "Lemon Boy" F Dm G He was growing in my garden and I pulled him out by his hair like a weed C E7 And like weeds do he only came and grew back again F Dm G So, I figured this time I might as well let him be
[Chorus]
F C E7 Am G Lemon Boy and me started to get along together F C E7 Am G I helped him plant his seeds and we'd mow the lawn in bad weather F C E7 Am G F It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him G C So I got myself a citrus friend
[Verse 2]
C E7 But soon his bittersweet started to rub off on me F Dm G You'd think smelling like lemon zest would be pretty neat C E7 I found out that my friends are more of the savoury type F Dm G And they weren't too keen on compromising with a nice lemon pie
[Chorus]
F C E7 Am G So Lemon Boy and me, we just gotta get along together F C E7 Am G I helped him plant his seeds and we'd mow the lawn in bad weather F C E7 Am G F It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him G C So I got myself a citrus friend
[Bridge]
C E7 But what if I run out of fertiliser F Fm What if the clouds run out of rain F C What if Lemon Boy won't grow no longer E7 F What if beaches dry of sugarcane Fm Oh-ohhhh well C The whales start to beach themselves E7 F Tortoise shells tear away from their spines Dm G C It happens all the time, it happens all the time
[Pre-Chorus]
F C E7 Am G Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever F C E7 Am G Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
[Chorus]
F C E7 Am G Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever F C E7 Am G Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever F C E7 Am G F It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
[Outro]
G F 'Cause we're the bitterest boys in town G F Yeah, we're the bitterest guys around G C And I got myself a citrus friend
