♫ Intro: 

Bm   D   G   ( x2 )



♫ Verse 1:
    Bm                    A
My father never talked a lot
          G 
He just took a walk around the block
              Bm                   A
'Til all his anger took a hold to hand
               G 
And then he'd hit
    Bm                   A 
My mother never cried a lot
              G            
She took the punches, but she never fought
                     Bm                        A
'Til she said, "I'm leaving and I'll take the kids"
G
So she did

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

♫ Chorus: 
            Bm              D
Scattered 'cross my family line
         G              
I'm so good at telling lies
           Bm                D
That came from my mother's side
         G 
Told a million to survive
            Bm               D
Scattered 'cross my family line
        G 
God
I have my father's eyes
        Bm              D
But my sister's when I cry
       G 
I can run, but I can't hide
          Bm    D   G  
From my family line  

♫ Verse 2:
Bm                   D
It's hard to put it into words
         G  
How the holidays will always hurt
             Bm                        D 
I watch the fathers with their little girls
            G  
And wonder what I did to deserve this
     Bm                D    
How could you hurt a little kid?
    G               
I can't forget
I can't forgive you
       Bm                    D                    G 
'Cause now I'm scared that everyone I love will leave me

♫ Chorus: 
            Bm              D
Scattered 'cross my family line
         G              
I'm so good at telling lies
           Bm                D
That came from my mother's side
         G 
Told a million to survive
            Bm               D
Scattered 'cross my family line
        G 
God
I have my father's eyes
        Bm              D
But my sister's when I cry
       G 
I can run, but I can't hide
         Em     Bm   A   
From my family line  

♫ Post-Chorus: 
         Em     Bm   A 
From my family line    

♫ Bridge: 
  
Oh-oh
Em                Bm
All that I did to try to undo it
 A            
All of my pain and all your excuses
Em               Bm  
I was a kid, but I wasn't clueless
  A           
(Someone who loves you wouldn't this)
Em               Bm 
All of my past I try to erase it
 A                   
But now I see what I even change it
 Em                     Bm
Might share a face and share a last name but
 A  
(We are not the same, same)

♫ Chorus: 
            Bm              D
Scattered 'cross my family line
         G              
I'm so good at telling lies
           Bm                D
That came from my mother's side
         G 
Told a million to survive
            Bm               D
Scattered 'cross my family line
        G 
God
I have my father's eyes
        Bm              D
But my sister's when I cry
       G 
I can run, but I can't hide
          Bm    D   G  
From my family line  

♫ Outro: 
         Bm     D      G  
From my family line (Mmhm)
