Care about the    moonlight and hol...ding   you tight

Everyone loves a situation.


Verse 2: (use verse 1 chords)
Long walks on the beach the press will impeach.
Lately I'm finding
I am the book and you are the binding


Chorus 1 Chords:
                         
I guess they'll read... everything about you
                                                   
Though the press might shoot me down I'm still true...ue
                                        
I sell my book for free, that's what you do to me
                                                [intro chords]
Oh, you are my family tree..ee, be good to me, take care of me.

Bop bop.


Verse 3: (use verse 1 chords)
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.


Verse 3: (use verse 1 chords)
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.


Chorus 2: (use chorus 1 chords) (some variation)
But who am I to preach a word or two
when I can't lift my own head without you?
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.

Outro: 
[intro chords]
Bop bop.
