Rilo Kiley - A Better Son Daughter Acoustic

this is how i play this song on my acoustic guitar . i put a capo on the 4th fret .
it suits my voice nicely , but don’t be afraid to move it around to your liking : – )

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 fxxking 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 fxxking 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 ) )
