[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 
                 A               A/G#
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 
 
And so on...

The Kooks tab to this is flawless. i saw Pritchard playing this and those are the exact chords, well done. the intro is a bit confusing for me though =S idk why, just is

chords seem spot on, but the intro tab doesn't seem right... To me this sounds right: https://www.songsterr.com/a/wsa/kooks-kids-tab-g-s261606
