[Verse]
Em C
You were a child
G G/F#
Crawling on your knees toward him
Em C
Making momma so proud
G G/F#
But your voice is too loud
Em C
We like to watch you laughing
G G/F#
Picking insects off of plants
Em C G G/F#
No time to think of consequences
[Chorus]
Control yourself
Take only what you need from them
A family of trees wanting to be haunted
(x2)
[Verse]
The water is warm
But it's sending me shivers
A baby is born
Crying out for attention
Your memories fade
Like looking through a fogged mirror
Decisions to
Decisions are made and not bought
But I thought this wouldn't hurt a lot
I guess not
[Chorus]
Control yourself
Take only what you need from them
A family of trees wanting to be haunted
(x2)
Control yourself
Take only what you need from them
A family of trees wanting to be haunted
(x3)
A family of trees...
Version II, without capo(the way the kooks actually played it )
F#m D
You were a child

Crawling on your knees toward him
F#m D
Making momma so proud
A A/G#
But your voice is too loud
F#m D
We like to watch you laughing
A A/G#
Picking insects off of plants
F#m D A A/G#
No time to think of consequences
