Em           C 
  You were a child  
                 G               G/F# 
Crawling on your knees toward him  
Em                C 
  Making momma so proud  
                  G       G/F#         
But your voice is too loud  
Em                     C 
  We like to watch you laughing  
          G            G/F# 
Picking insects off of plants  
Em                C        G      G/F# 
  No time to think of consequences  

Control yourself  
Take only what you need from them  
A family of trees wanting to be haunted  
(x2)  

The water is warm  
But it's sending me shivers  
A baby is born  
Crying out for attention  
Your memories fade  
Like looking through a fogged mirror  
Decisions to  
Decisions are made and not bought  
But I thought this wouldn't hurt a lot  
I guess not  

Control yourself  
Take only what you need from them  
A family of trees wanting to be haunted  
(x2) 

Control yourself  
Take only what you need from them  
A family of trees wanting to be haunted 
(x3) 
A family of trees...

F#m           D 
  You were a child  
                 A               A/G# 
Crawling on your knees toward him  
F#m                D 
  Making momma so proud  
                  A       A/G#         
But your voice is too loud  
F#m                    D 
  We like to watch you laughing  
          A            A/G# 
Picking insects off of plants  
F#m                D        A      A/G# 
  No time to think of consequences
