Family Line Acoustic chords by Conan Gray

• Difficulty: Intermediate

♫ Intro:

Em  G  C   Em  G   C

♫ Verse:
   Em                    G
My father never talked a lot
        C
He just took a walk around the block
               Em                   G
Til all of his anger took a hold of him
          C
Then he'd hit
   Em                   G
My mother never cried a lot
             C
She took the punches but she never fought
                 Em               G
Til she said I'm leaving and I'll take the kids
       C
So she did

♫ Pre-Chorus:
              Em            G           C
I say they're just the ones who gave me life
      Em          G       C
But I truly am my parents child

♫ Chorus:
           Em              G
Scattered across my family line
       C
I’m so good at selling lies
          Em              G
That came from my mothers side
       C
Told a million to survive
          Em              G
Scattered cross my family line
      C
God I have my father's eyes
       Em             G
But my sisters when I cry
      C
I can run but I can't hide
            Em G    C
From my family line
            Em G    C
From my family line

♫ Verse:
     Em                  G
It's hard to put it into words
        C
How the holidays always hurt
            Em                        G
I watch the fathers with thier little girls
         C
I wonder what I did to deserve this
    Em               G
How could you hurt a little kid
        C
I can't forget I can't forgive you
Em                  G                    C
Now I'm scared that everyone I love will leave me

♫ Chorus:
          Em              G
Scattered cross my family line
       C
I’m so good at selling lies
          Em              G
That came from my mothers side
       C
Told a million to survive
          Em              G
Scattered cross my family line
      C
God I have my fathers eyes
       Em             G
But my sisters when I cry
      C
I can run but I can't hide
            Am Em   Dadd4   - Conan changes the key
From my family line           starting at this part
            Am Em   Dadd4
From my family line

♫ Bridge:
   Am         Em
Oh all that I did to try to undo it
Dadd4
All of my pain and all of your excuses
Am          Em               Dadd4
I was a kid but I wasn't clueless
Am        Em
All of my past I tried to erase it
Dadd4
But now I see would I even change it
Am                 Em
Might share a face and share a last name but
Dadd4          Am   Em     Dadd4
We are not the same
        Am   Em     Dadd4
Not the same

Scattered cross my family line

I’m so good at selling lies
          Am              Em
That came from my mothers side
       Dadd4
Told a million to survive
          Am              Em
Scattered cross my family line
      Dadd4
God I have my fathers eyes
       Am             Em
But my sisters when I cry
      Dadd4
I can run but I can't hide
            Em G   C
From my family line
            Em G   C
From my family line
