Rilo Kiley - A Better Son Daughter Chords

Quite easy and straightforward,

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 f**king on
And your friends they sing along and they love you
But the lows are so extreme that the good seems f**king 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
