Family Business chords by Christina Eve

• Difficulty: Beginner

Verse 1:
                          D
Feels like I want you to hurt me
                           Gmaj7
Feels like your hand on my throat
                        Em7
Lie on my back feeling dirty
                         A
My mum thinks I'm coming home
                          D
Feels like I said I won't stay here
                           Gmaj7
Feels like you know that I will
                           Em7
Feels like you're always complaining
                         A
Except when I'm lying still

Verse 2:
                         D
And then I'm falling to pieces
                           Gmaj7
And then you're cleaning me up
                         Em7
And then I'm talking to Jesus
                            A
He says, "I think you're a slut"
                            D
And then I stare at your father
                           Gmaj7
He just called your mother a bitch
                         Em7
I take a knife made for butter
                            A
And I carve my pain in his lips
                                                           D
You're out here raising a kid, you should know better than this


Chorus:
D
So you're the reason that he's watching me bleed
Gmaj7
He's digging in his fingernails, soaking through the sheets
Em7
Stitching up my wounds, calling me pathetic
A                                 A7
I can't help but think that it's somewhat genetic
D
Daddy's little soldier's got me begging for peace
Gmaj7
Got me working with bullets, says I'm earning my keep
Em7
I see it's just a family business
A                       A7
I'd blame you but your daddy did this

Verse 2:
                             D
Not trying to paint you the victim
                           Gmaj7
I know you know what you've done
                         Em7
It's sorta slightly sadistic
                            A
Killing me is your kind of fun
                         D
He helped you bury the body
                           Gmaj7
And driving 'til you reached Illinois
                         Em
And then he'd pay all the jury
                        A
And then he'd say, "That's my boy, that's my boy"

Chorus:
D
So you're the reason that he's watching me bleed
Gmaj7
He's digging in his fingernails, soaking through the sheets
Em7
Stitching up my wounds, calling me pathetic
A                                 A7
I can't help but think that it's somewhat genetic
D
Daddy's little soldier's got me begging for peace
Gmaj7
Got me working with bullets, says I'm earning my keep
Em7
I see it's just a family business
A                       A7
I'd blame you but your daddy gave you

Bridge:
G                        Gm
Hand-me-downs, make your family proud
        D         A       Em
You're gonna be a man and this is how
G                        Gm
Modern history, let me plant the seed
        D         A       Em
This is how my son's supposed to be
        D         A         Gm
Making sure he clones right into me

Chorus:
D
Daddy's little soldier's got me begging for peace
Gmaj7
Got me working with bullets, says I'm earning my keep
Em7
I see it's just a family business
A                        A7
I'd blame you but your daddy did this
D
So you're the reason that he's watching me bleed
Gmaj7
He's digging in his fingernails, soaking through the sheets
Em7
Stitching up my wounds, calling me pathetic
A                                 A7
I can't help but think that it's somewhat genetic
D
Daddy's little soldier's got me begging for peace
Gmaj7
Got me working with bullets, says I'm earning my keep
Em7
I see it's just a family business
A                       A7            D
I'd blame you but your daddy did this
