Intro

[Verse 1]
A# D
There once was a bitter-sweet man and they called him Lemon Boy
D# Cm F
He was growing in my garden and I pulled him out by his hair, like a weed
A# D
And like weeds do he only came and grew back again
D# Cm F
So I figured this time I might as well let him be
[Chorus]
D# A# D Cm F
Lemon Boy and me started to get along together
D# A# D Cm F
I helped him plant his seeds and we'd mow the lawn in bad weather
D# A# D Cm F D#
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
F A#
So I got myself a citrus friend
[Verse 2]
A# D
But soon his bitter-sweet started to rub off on me
D# Cm F
You'd think smelling like lemon zest would be pretty neat
A# D
I found out that my friends were more of the savory type
D# Cm F
And they weren't too keen with compromising with a nice lemon pie
[Chorus]
D# A# D Cm F
So Lemon Boy and me started to get along together
D# A# D Cm F
I helped him plant his seeds and we mowed the lawn in bad weather
D# A# D Cm F D#
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
F A#
So I got myself a citrus friend
[Bridge]
A# D7
But what if I run out of fertilizer?
D# D#m
What if the clouds run out of rain?
D# A#
What if Lemon Boy won't grow no longer?
D7 D# D#m
What if beaches dry of sugar cane? Oh-oh well,
A#
Whales start to beach themselves
D7 D#
Tortoise shells tear away from their spines
D#m
It happens all the time
Cm F A#
It happens all the time

D# A# D7 Cm F
So Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
D# A# D7 Cm F
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
D# A# D7 Cm F
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
D# A# D7 Cm F
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
D# A# D7 Cm F D#
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
F D#
Cause we're the bitterest boys in town
F D#
Yeah, we're the bitterest guys around
F A#
and I've got myself a citrus friend
