Intro: Am-Fmaj7-C-Em* (2x) 

Am          Fmaj7 
You were a child 
C                          Em* 
Crawling on your knees toward it 
Am                Fmaj7 
Making momma so proud, 
C                       Em* 
But your voice was too loud 


Am              Fmaj7       C    Em* 
We like to watch you laughing, 
Am                          Fmaj7 
You pick the insects off plants  
C                            Em* 
No time to think of consequences 

 
Am            Fmaj7 
Control yourself 
      Fmaj7            C       Em* 
Take only what you need from it 
Am                    Fmaj7 
A family of trees wanted 
C           Em* 
To be haunted 

Am            Fmaj7 
Control yourself 
 Fmaj7            C       Em* 
Take only what you need from it 
Am                    Fmaj7 
A family of trees wanted 
C           Em* 
To be haunted 

Am             Fmaj7 
The water is warm 
C                     Em* 
But it sending me shivers 
Am          Fmaj7 
A baby is born 
C                    Em* 
Crying out for attention 
Am             Fmaj7 
The memories fade 
     Fmaj7                C             Em* 
Like watching through a fogged mirror 

 Am 
Decision to decisions are made 
 Fmaj7 
And not bought, 
  C 
But I thought this wouldn't hurt a lot. 
 Em* 
I guess not 


Am            Fmaj7 
Control yourself 
     Fmaj7            C       Em* 
Take only what you need from it 
Am                    Fmaj7 
A family of trees wanted 
C           Em* 
To be haunted 

Am            Fmaj7 
Control yourself 
     Fmaj7            C       Em* 
Take only what you need from it 
Am                    Fmaj7 
A family of trees wanted 
C           Em* 
To be haunted
