Eels – Things The Grandchildren Should Know (Guitar)

C                G
I go to bed real early

F                 G
 Everybody thinks it's strange

C                 G
I get up early in the morning

F                           G
 No matter how disappointed I was with the day before

C                G               F              G                      
It feels new

C                       G
I don't leave the house much

F                         G
 I don't like being around people

C                    G
Makes me nervous and weird

F                            G
 I don't like going to shows either

C                          G
It's better for me to stay home

F                                G
 Some might think it means i hate people

C                    G            F               G
 But that's not quite right

C                 G
I do some stupid things

F                            G
 But my heart's in the right place

                C         G         F           G
And this i know

C          
I got a dog

                 G
I take him for a walk

F                               G
 And all the people like to say hello

C                                       G
 I'm used to staring down at the sidewalk cracks

F                        G
 I'm learning how to say hello

                 C          G          F          G
Without too much trouble

C                           G
I'm turning out just like my father

F                       G
 Though i swore i never would

C                          G
Now i can say that i have love for him

F               G
 I never really understood

C                               G
What it must have been like for him

F                  G
 Living inside his head

C                        G
 I feel like he's here with me now

F         G
                 Even though he's dead

C                                   G
It's not all good and it's not all bad

F                            G
 Don't believe everything you read

C                                 G
 I'm the only one who knows what it's like

F                          G
So i though i'd better tell you

        C
Before i leave

C                         G
So in the end i'd like to say

F                        G
 That i'm a very thankful man

C                              G
I tried to make the most of my situations

F                G
 And enjoy what i had

C                          G
I knew true love and i knew passion

F                              G
 And the difference between the two

C                       
 And i had some regrets

G
But if i had to do it all again

F                   G                           
          Well, it's something i'd like to do
