[Verse 1]
Bm                                  F#m
You're too linear, she said, as she chewed her sun-streaked braid
        Bm                              Em
I said, you're too anti-logical, you're California-made
A                F#7
I don't know what you mean
         Bm          Bm/A          E
When you say I never ever set you free
      Em         A
Honey bee, honey bee


[Verse 2]
Bm                                  F#m
You're too button down, she said, as she sipped her jasmine tea
        Bm                              Em
I said, you're too henna tie dyed peasant dress below the knee
A                F#7
I don't know what to say
         Bm          Bm/A          E
When you think I never ever set you free
      Em         A
Honey bee, honey bee


[Chorus]
D             Em7        A
I never understood your smile
Bm           F#m
Fickle fleeting, overheating
Em           A
No longer than a while
D             Em7        A
I never understood your smile
Bm           F#m
Kinda quirky, sexy perky
         Em               A
It could lead me down the aisle


[Verse 3]
Bm                                  F#m
You're my useful tool, she said, and she flipped me with her hair
        Bm                              Em
I said, you're my vegan tofu girl, and I don't care what you wear
A                F#7
I think I know what I can say
         Bm          Bm/A          E
When you think you want to let me set you free
      Em         A
Honey bee, honey bee


[Chorus]
D             Em7        A
I never understood your smile
Bm           F#m
Fickle fleeting, overheating
Em           A
No longer than a while
D             Em7        A
I never understood your smile
Bm           F#m
Kinda quirky, sexy perky
         Em               A
You could lead me down the aisle


A              F7
Don’t ever go, I don’t know
        Bm           Bm/A              E
Why you think I'd ever want to set you free
      Em         A
Honey Bee, honey bee


[Chorus]
D             Em7        A
I never understood your smile
Bm           F#m
Fickle fleeting, overheating
Em           A
No longer than a while
D             Em7        A
I never understood your smile
Bm           F#m
Kinda quirky, sexy perky
         Em               A
You could lead me down the aisle



[Outro]
D             Em7        A
I never understood your smile
D             Em7        A
I never understood your smile
D             Em7        A
I never understood your smile
D             Em7        A
I never understood your smile
