I was in third grade
Got a potted plant full of flowers
Ran home and gave them to my mom
She said that they were marigolds
What you call your garden-variety weed
A5 *
Oh, I'm a marigold
Oh, I'm a marigold
And you picked me
verse 2
So anyway
I should buy my mom a bouquet
Just to say hey, I'm thinking about you today
That's right
Thinking about everything you did for me
Like always saying "grace sets you free"
A5 *
Oh, I'm a marigold
Oh, I'm a marigold
And you picked me

It's not sad anymore
It's not sad anymore
It's not sad anymore
Nothing but the sun in your eyes
Nothing but the sun in your eyes
Nothing but the sun in your eyes
Nothing but the sun in your eyes

If I ever do better than second place
I've gotta go and make a play for your heart
A dormant volcano slowly waking up on New Year?s Day
I won?t be sprinting to finish the race
But I could feel the butterflies from the start
It?s like we?re outside running and there?s nothing but the sun in your eyes
Nothing but the sun in your eyes
If I have to be closer to present state
I gotta pull something to tear it apart
A ? condition slowly waking up on New Year?s Day
I won?t be sprinting to finish the race
But I could feel the butterflies from the start
You got your ? sunglasses and there?s nothing but the sun in your eyes
Outro
Nothing but the sun in your eyes
Nothing but the sun in your eyes
Nothing but the sun in your eyes
Nothing but the sun in your eyes
