[Verse 1]
A              Em        D
Please picture me in the trees
          A
I hit my peak at seven
             Em            D
Feet in the swing over the creek
           A
I was too scared to jump in
             Em           D
But I, I was high in the sky
         A              Em
With Pennsylvania under me
D                               A
Are there still beautiful things?

[Chorus]
Em
Sweet tea in the summer
 D
Cross your heart won't tell no other
 G                              A
And though I can’t recall your 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                      Em  D  A  Em D  Em D
The love lasts so long, oh

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

[Verse 2]
  A        Em              D
Please picture me in the weeds
            A
Before I learned civility
            Em         D           A
I used to scream ferociously any time I wanted
A  Em  D  A
I, I

[Chorus]
 A
Sweet tea in the summer
  Em                               D
Cross my heart won’t tell no other
                                A
And though I can't recall your face
                         A
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                  Bm D  A  D
Our love lasts so long

[Outro]
