A Better Son/Daughter

C                           
Sometimes in the morning i am 
  F             C
petrified and can't move
F                C       G
Awake but cannot open my eyes
        C                          
And the weight is crushing down on 
   F                    C
my lungs I know I can't breath
    F                 C            
And hope someone will help me this 
G
time
     C                         
Your mother's still calling you 
 F          C
insane and high

F             C              G
Swearing it's different this time
        C                          
And you tell her to give in to the 
F           C
demons that possess her
         F        C         
And that god ever blessed her 
  G
insides
         C                         
Then you hang up the phone and feel
 F         C
 badly for upsetting things
    F               C            
And crawl back into bed to dream of 
G
a time
          C                      
When your heart was open wide and 
       F                 C
you loved things just because
         F            C      G
Like the sick and the dying

    C                             
And sometimes when you're on 
F               C
you're really fucking on
         F                 C      
And your friends they sing along 
        G
and they love you
        C                          
But the lows are so extreme that 
  F                  C
the good seems fucking cheap
       F              C            
And it teases you for weeks in its 
G
absense
           C
But you'll fight and you'll make it 
through
       F              C
You'll fake it if you have to
           F           C           
And you'll show up for work with a 
G
smile
                 C
And you'll be be better you'll be 
smarter
           F               C
More grown up and a better daughter
   F         C         G
Or son and a real good friend
              C
And you'll be awake and you'll be 
alert
          F                  C
You'll be positive though it hurts
           F          C        
And you'll laugh and embrace all 
      G
your friends
                C
And you'll be a real good listener
          F                C
You'll be honest you'll be brave
          F                 
You'll be handsome you'll be 
 C
beautiful
          G
You'll be happy

       F                   C
You're weak but not giving in
       F             C            
To the cries and the wails of the

valley below
     C
Your ship may be coming in
       F                   C
You're weak but not giving in

And you'll fight it you'll go out 
         G
