F#m D A E x8
(Verse)
F#m D
You were a child
A E
Crawling on your knees toward him
F#m D
Making momma so proud
A E F#m D
But your voice is too loud
A E
We like to watch you laughing
F#m D
Picking insects off of plants
A E
No time to think of consequences
(Chorus)
F#m D
Control yourself
A E
Take only what you need from it
F#m D A E
A family of trees wanting to be haunted (?)
(Repeat chorus)
(Verse)
The water is warm
But it's sending me shivers
A baby is born
Crying out for attention
Memories fade
Like looking through a fogged mirror
Decisions too
Decisions are made and not bought
But I thought this wouldn't hurt a lot
I guess not
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
E F#m G C#m A Ebm B F#
A
(Chorus) x4
