[A]Please picture [Em]me in the [D]trees, I hit my [A]peak at seven
[A]Feet in the [Em]swing [D]over the creek, I was [A]too scared to jump in
But [A]I, I was [Em]high in the [D]sky, with [A]Pennsylvania under [A] [Em]me
Are there [D]still beautiful [A]things?


[Em]Sweet tea in the summer, [D]cross your heart won’t tell no other
[G]And though I can’t recall your [A]face, I still got love for you
[A]Your braids like a pattern, [Em]love you to the moon and to Saturn
[D]Passed down like folk songs, [A]the love lasts so [Em]long. Oh…


[D] [A] [Em] [D] [G] [A]
[Bm]And I’ve been meaning to [D]tell you, I think your house is [A]haunted
Your dad is always [D]mad and that must be [Bm]why
And I think you should come [D]live with me, and we could be [A]pirates
Then you won’t have to [D]cry, or hide in the [Bm]closet
And just like a [D]folk song, our love will be [A]passed [D]on


[A]Please picture [Em]me in the [D]weeds, before I [A]learned civility
I used to [Em]scream [D]ferociously any [A]time I wanted


[A] [Em] [D] [A]
[A]Sweet tea in the summer, [Em]cross my heart won’t tell no [D]other
And though I can’t recall your [A]face, I still got love for you
[Em]Pack your dolls and a sweater, [D]we’ll move to India forever
[G]Passed down like folk songs, [A]our love lasts so [Bm]long [D] [A] [D]
