It's the perfect time of year

Somewhere far away from here

It's like a dream, you try to remember but it's gone

F D

Then you try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn

C G F G

When you try to see the world beyond your front door

C G

Take your time 'coz the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile

F D

When you realize that a guy my size might take a while

C G F

Just to try to figure out what all this is for

[Verse 2]

F G C F C

It's the perfect time of day

F G C F C

To throw all your cares away

F G C F C

Put the sprinkler on the lawn

F G C F C

And run through with my gym shorts on

F G C F C

Take a drink right from the hose

F G C F C

And change into some drier clothes

F G C F C

Climb the stairs up to my room

Sleep away the afternoon

Packed a car and leave this town

I could hide out under there

I just made you say 'underwear'

All my stuff's here anyway
