Summer Child Chords

[Intro]
D A G ×2
 
[Verse 1]
     D            A             G
You see all the flowers in the weeds
         D            A              G
You're scared of the dark when you sleep
     D              A               G
You cover up your arms with your sleeves
         F#m           Em       D
Even in hundred-degree heat
 
[Verse 2]
       D          A      G
Your father was awfully mean
        D       A        G
Your favorite color is green
     D                  A                 G
It reminds you of the summer you turned three
                   F#m               Em      D
Runnin' through sprinklers on your street
 
[Pre-Chorus]
          G             F#m         Em
And you laugh and you dance in the wind
          G          F#m          Em
And you sway and you hug and you kiss
               G       F#m         Em
But there's darkness behind those eyes
      C        Bm
Even when you smile
 
[Chorus]
     A        D
Oh, summer child
Bm                A                 Bm   A    D
You don't have to act like all you feel is mild
Bm                A                 Bm   A    D
You don't really love the sun, it drives you wild
        A       F#7     Bm     A      G     A
You're lyin', summer child
 
[Bridge]
G                   F#m
Aren't you way too busy
         F           Em
Taking care of everybody
         B           D
To take care of yourself?
G                    F#m
When the sun goes missing
                F           Em
Aren't the flowers just as pretty?
            B             D
Aren't the oceans just as deep?
               A
The trees as green?
            C
And as for me
                Bm
I'll watch you weep
 
[Chorus]
    A        D
Oh, summer child
Bm                A                 Bm   A    D
You don't have to act like all you feel is mild
Bm                A                 Bm   A    D
You don't really love the sun, it drives you wild
        A       F#7     Bm     A      G     A
You're lyin', summer child
