[Verse 1]E G#
There once was a bitter-sweet man and they called him Lemon Boy
A F#m B
He was growing in my garden and I pulled him out by his hair, like a weed
E G#
And like weeds do he only came and grew back again
A F#m B
So I figured this time I might as well let him be
[Chorus]A E G# F#m B
Lemon Boy and me started to get along together
A E G# F#m B
I helped him plant his seeds and we mowed the lawn in bad weather
A E G# F#m G# F#m A
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
A E
So I got myself a citrus friend
[Verse 2]E G#
But soon his bitter-sweet started to rub off on me
A F#m B
You'd think smelling like lemon zest would be pretty neat
E G#
I found out that my friends were more of the savory type
A F#m B
And they weren't too keen with compromising with a nice lemon pie
[Chorus] A E G# F#m B
So Lemon Boy and me started to get along together
A E G# F#m B
I helped him plant his seeds and we mowed the lawn in bad weather
A E G# B G# F#m A
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
B E
So I got myself a citrus friend
[Bridge]E G#
But what if I run out of fertilizer?
A Am
What if the sky runs out of rain?
A E
What if Lemon Boy won't grow no longer?
G# A Am
What if beaches dry of sugar cane? Oh-oh well,
E
Whales start to beach themselves
G# A
Tortoise shells tear away from their spines
Am
It happens all the time
F#m B E
It happens all the time
E G# A Am F#m B
A E G# F#m B
So Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
A E G# F#m B
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
A E G# F#m B
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
A E G# F#m B
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
A E G# F#m B A
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
B A
Cause we're the bitterest boys around
B A
Yeah, we're the bitterest guys in town
B E
and I've got myself a citrus friend
E A F#m B E A F#m B E
