A Better Son Daughter by Rilo Kiley
A Better Son Daughter
I put a CAPO on the 4th fret.
G C G
Sometimes in the morning i am petrified and can't move
C G D
Awake but cannot open my eyes
G C G
And the weight is crushing down on my lungs i know i can't breath
C G D
And hope someone will help me this time
G C G
Your mother's still calling you insane and high
C G D
Swearing it's different this time
G C G
And you tell her to give in to the demons that possess her
C G D
And that god ever blessed her insides
G C G
Then you hang up the phone and feel badly for upsetting things
C G D
And crawl back into bed to dream of a time
G C G C
When your heart was open wide and you loved things just because
G D
Like the sick and the dying
G C G
And sometimes when you're on you're really fucking on
C G D
And your friends they sing along and they love you
G C G
But the lows are so extreme that the good seems fucking cheap
C G D
And it teases you for weeks in its absense
G
But you'll fight and you'll make it through
C G
You'll fake it if you have to
C G D
And you'll show up for work with a smile
G
And you'll be be better you'll be smarter
C G
More grown up and a better daughter
C G D
Or son and a real good friend
G
And you'll be awake and you'll be alert
C G
You'll be positive though it hurts
C G D
And you'll laugh and embrace all your friends
G
And you'll be a real good listener
C G
You'll be honest you'll be brave
C G
You'll be handsome you'll be beautiful
D
You'll be happy
G,C,G,C,G,D X2
G
Your ship may be coming in
C G
You're weak but not giving in
C G D
To the cries and the wails of the valley below
G
Your ship may be coming in
C G
You're weak but not giving in
C G D
And you'll fight it you'll go out fighting all of them
G,C,G,C,G,D X2 ((FADE OUT))

E A E
Sometimes in the morning i am petrified and can't move
A E B
Awake but cannot open my eyes
(and so on for the entire song)
And the weight is crushing down on my lungs i know i can't breath
And hope someone will save me this time
Your mother's still calling you insane and high
Swearing it's different this time
And you tell her to give in to the demons that possess her
And that God never blessed her insides
Then you hang up the phone and feel badly for upsetting things
And crawl back into bed to dream of a time
When your heart was open wide and you loved things just because
Like the sick and the dying
And sometimes when you're on you're really fucking on
And your friends they sing along and they love you
But the lows are so extreme that the good seems fucking cheap
And it teases you for weeks in its absense
But you'll fight and you'll make it through
You'll fake it if you have to
And you'll show up for work with a smile
And you'll be be better you'll be smarter
More grown up and a better daughter
Or son and a real good friend
And you'll be awake and you'll be alert
You'll be positive though it hurts
And you'll laugh and embrace all your friends
And you'll be a real good listener
You'll be honest you'll be brave
You'll be handsome you'll be beautiful
You'll be happy
