[Verse]
 
F#m          D
You were a child
                   A                E/G#
Crawling on your knees toward him
F#m               D
Making momma so proud
A                      E/G#        F#m   D
But your voice is too loud
                  A           E/G#
We like to watch you laughing
F#m                          D
You pick the insects off of plants
A                         E/G#
No time to think of consequences
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F#m                D
Control yourself
                    A             E/G#
Take only what you need from it
F#m          D           A       E/G#
A family of trees wanting to be haunted
 
F#m                D
Control yourself
                    A             E/G#
Take only what you need from it
F#m          D           A       E/G#
A family of trees wanting to be haunted
 
 
[Verse]
 
F#m          D
The water is warm
                 A             E/G#
But it's sending me shivers
F#m           D
    A baby is born
A                  E/G#
  Crying out for attention
F#m             D
   The memories fade
                       A                E/G#
Like looking through a fogged mirror
  F#m                     D
Decision to decisions are made and not bought
      A                            E/G#
But I thought this wouldn't hurt a lot, I guess not
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F#m                D
Control yourself
                    A             E/G#
Take only what you need from it
F#m          D           A       E/G#
A family of trees wanting to be haunted
 
F#m                D
Control yourself
                    A             E/G#
Take only what you need from it
F#m          D           A       E/G#

Thank you very much, its a well good song. But i think the verse chorus intro etc goes like this instead of with the E chord... [tab] e------------------| B------7-----------| G--2---7---6-------| D--4---7---7---6---| A--4---5---7---7---| E--2-------5---4---| [/tab]

people saying capo on first fret and opposing it are both right. the video/single is in a different key to the album version. the album version is a semitone lower. look up the lyrics video on yuotube and compare it with the official video
