(play main riff)
Care about the moon light and holding you tight,
and asking my questions.
Everyone loves a situation.
Long walks on the beach. The press will impeach.
Lately I'm finding,
I am the book, and you are the binding.
I[G] guess they'll [C]read everything 'bout [Em]you

Though th[Am]e press might shoot me down, I'm still[C] true. [D]
C ?? D C ?? D
I sell my book for free. That's what you do to me.

Oh, you are my family tree. Be good to me. do some walking bass notes
between C and G like below)

Take care of me. (play main riff)
*between verses play Am, slide up two frets, and back down*
There's hotels in the sea, trash in the sky.
The net-dustry's growing.
Stick to love songs, kid, that's all you're knowing.
They push you away, or tie you up.
It don't really matter.
But if your head is up, you won't get much sadder.
But who am I to preach a word or two
when I can't lift my own head about you?
(play like "I guess they'll read...")
If my mental state kept you from coming around,
I hope the world would shoot me down for losing you.
A broken branch I'd be, if you weren't grown to me.
Oh, you are my family tree.
Be good to me.
Be good to me.
Be good to me.
Take care of me.
Bop bop.
(play intro and end on Em)
