Rilo Kiley – A Better Son Daughter (Ukulele)

C                                F           C
Sometimes in the morning i am petrified and can't move

F                 C       G
Awake but cannot open my eyes

        C                              F             C
And the weight is crushing down on my lungs i know i can't breathe

    F                 C            G
And hope someone will save me this time

         C                          F .        C
And your mother's still calling you insane and high

F             C              G
Swearing it's different this time

        C .                        F           C
And you tell her to give in to the demons that possess her

         F         C           G
And that God never blessed her insides

         C                          F         C
Then you hang up the phone and feel badly for upsetting things

    F                C .         G
And crawl back into bed to dream of a time

          C                           F .               C             
When your heart was open wide and you loved things just because

         F            C
Like the sick and the dying

                                    F              C
And sometimes when you're on you're really fucking on

         F                 C              G
And your friends they sing along and they love you

        C                            F                  C
But the lows are so extreme that the good seems fucking cheap

       F              C            G
And it teases you for weeks in its absense

            C
But you'll fight and you'll make it through

       F              C
You'll fake it if you have to

           F           C           G
And you'll show up for work with a smile

                 C
And you'll be be better you'll be smarter

           F               C
More grown up and a better daughter

   F         C         G
Or son and a real good friend

              C
And you'll be awake and you'll be alert

          F                  C 
You'll be positive though it hurts

           F         C                G
And you'll laugh and embrace all your friends

              C  
And you'll be a real good listener

          F                C
You'll be honest you'll be brave

          F                  G
You'll be handsome you'll be beautiful

          C
You'll be happy
