seven

Verse 1:
A              Em       D
Please picture me in the trees
          A
I hit my peak at seven
A            Em           D
Feet in the swing over the creek
           A
I was too scared to jump in
    A        Em         D
But I, I was high in the sky
            A            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  G  A
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
 
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
