I’ll be picking strawberries and planting a lemon tree

        D
My garden will die

There’s no sleep, but every day’s a dream

When will I ever get to it?

What if I never get to it?

D      A      D
(And if it all adds up)
I’ll make a home in the country
D     A    D
(Would it be enough)
Out on the road for 6 weeks
  D      A     D
(Where does that leave us)
In one life I’m planting a lemon tree
  D      A     D
(Wondering what’s to come)
In one life my garden is dying
  D    A      D
(What if it all adds up)
I wonder if I’ll have a baby
  D     A      D
(And it’s not enough)
Headlining big stages, big cities
 D      A       D
(Where would that leave us)
I know that I can’t take it with me
     G        G         G         D   A
But if I get it all, if I get it all, do you think that I’ll be happy?
   G        G         G         D   A
If I get it all, if I get it all, do you think that I’ll be happy?
   G        G         G         D
If I get it all, if I get it all, do you think that I’ll be happy?
