[Verse]
E                                                     G#There once was a bitter-sweet man and they called him Lemon Boy
       A                                                F#m          BHe 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  BSo I figured this time I might as well let him be


[Chorus]
A             E                 G#    F#m BLemon Boy and me started to get along together
     A                  E                      G#          F#m BI'll help him plant his seeds and we'd mow the lawn in bad weather
     A               E          G#        F#m    B        AIt's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
           B             ESo I got myself a citrus friend


[Verse]
    E                                G#But soon his bitter-sweet started to rub off on me
            A                              F#m       BYou'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        BAnd they weren't too keen with compromising with a nice lemon pie


[Chorus]
   A             E                  G#    F#m BSo Lemon Boy and me, we just got to get along together
   A                   E                      G#          F#m BI helped him plant his seeds and we'd mow the lawn in bad weather
     A               E          G#        F#m    B        AIt's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
           B             ESo I got myself a citrus friend


[Bridge]
    E                         G#But what if I run out of fertilizer?
A                             AmWhat if the clouds run out of rain?
A                               EWhat if Lemon Boy won't grow no longer?
G#                           A     AmWhat if beaches dry of sugar cane? Oh well,
    EThe whales start to beach themselves
G#                                   ATortoise shells tear away from their spines
   A               AmIt happens all the time
   F#m     B       EIt happens all the time
