Family Tree chords by Matthew West

G - D/F - Em7 - Cadd9

G                  D/F
You didn't ask for this
             Em7
Nobody ever would
                        Cadd9
Caught in the middle of this dysfunction
G                  D/F
It’s your sad reality
                            Em7
It’s your messed up family tree
                     Cadd9
Now you’re left with all these questions

Am                          C
Are you gonna be like your father was and his father was?
Am                            C
Do you have to carry what they’ve handed down?

G                     D/F
No, this is not your legacy
                  Em7
This is not your destiny
               Cadd9
Yesterday does not define you

G                     D/F
No, this is not your legacy
                      Em7
This is not your meant to be
                Cadd9
I can break the chains that bind you

G - D/F - Em7 - Cadd9

G                    D/F
I have a dream for you
                              Em7
It’s better than where you’ve been
                      Cadd9
It’s bigger than your imagination

G                       D/F
You’re gonna find real love
                            Em7
And you’re gonna hold your kids
                            Cadd9
You’ll change the course of generations

G                    D/F
No, this is not your legacy
                     Em7
This is not your destiny
               Cadd9
Yesterday does not define you

G                    D/F
No, this is not your legacy
                      Em7
This is not your meant to be
                 Cadd9
I can break the chains that bind you

Am                           C
You’re my child, you’re my chosen
          G             D/F
You are loved, you are loved
               Am                 C
And I will restore all that was broken
          G             D/F
You are loved, you are loved

G                          D/F
And just like the seasons change
             Em7
Winter into spring
                                 Cadd9
You’re bringing new life to your family tree now
Yes you are, you are

G - D/F - Em7 - Cadd9

G                     D/F
Oh, this will be your legacy
                  Em7
This will be your destiny
              Cadd9
Yesterday did not define you

G                     D/F
Oh, this will be your legacy
                   Em7
This will be your meant to be
                Cadd9
I can break the chains that bind you

G                           D/F
And just like the seasons change
              Em7
Winter into spring
                                  Cadd9
