A Better Son Daughter Acoustic Chords & Lyrics - Rilo Kiley

[G]Sometimes in the morning i am [C]petrified and [G]can't move
[C]Awake but cannot [G]open my [D]eyes
And the [G]weight is crushing down on my [C]lungs i know i can't [G]breath
And [C]hope someone will [G]help me this [D]time
Your [G]mother's still calling you [C]insane and [G]high
[C]Swearing it's [G]different this [D]time
And you [G]tell her to give in to the [C]demons that [G]possess her
And that [C]god ever [G]blessed her [D]insides
Then you [G]hang up the phone and feel [C]badly for [G]upsetting things
And [C]crawl back into [G]bed to dream [D]of a time
When your [G]heart was open [C]wide and you [G]loved things just [C]because
Like the [G]sick and the [D]dying

And [G]sometimes when you're on you're[C] really fucking [G]on
And your [C]friends they sing [G]along and they [D]love you
But the [G]lows are so extreme that the [C]good seems fucking [G]cheap
And it [C]teases you for [G]weeks in its [D]absense
But you'll [G]fight and you'll make it through
You'll [C]fake it if you [G]have to
And you'll [C]show up for [G]work with a [D]smile
And you'll be be [G]better you'll be smarter
More grown [C]up and a better [G]daughter
Or [C]son and a [G]real good [D]friend
And you'll be [G]awake and you'll be alert
You'll be [C]positive though it [G]hurts
And you'll [C]laugh and e[G]mbrace all your [D]friends
And you'll be a [G]real good listener
You'll be [C]honest you'll be [G]brave
You'll be [C]handsome you'll be [G]beautiful
You'll be [D]happy

[G] ,[C] ,[G] ,[C] ,[G] ,[D] X2

Your [G]ship may be coming in
You're [C]weak but not giving [G]in
To the [C]cries and the [G]wails of the [D]valley below
Your [G]ship may be coming in
You're [C]weak but not giving [G]in
And you'll [C]fight it you'll go [G]out fighting [D]all of them

[G] ,[C] ,[G] ,[C] ,[G] ,[D] X2 ((FADE OUT))
