C Am C G
Verse 1:
C Em
Grandpa liked green alcohol and women way too much

That trailerpark small town bo who never quite grew up

The hitting and the cheating

The quitting and the leaving
Am F
The apple didn't fall far from the tree
C
Guess it runs in the family
Verse 2:
C Em
Daddy had a hard life, he grew up way too fast
Am F
Taking care of business, he shouldn't have

Generation to generation

Same old shit, new iteration
Am7 F
He yelled at me like they yelled at him in the Navy
C
Guess it runs in the family
Chorus:
F C
I've got daddy's temper and his heart of gold
Am G
I'm an overspender and from what I'm told

I got my momma's lips and anxiety
Am
All the things she tried to fix

So the irony is that it runs in the family

Verse 3:
C Em
Momma thought that being perfect was the way to live her dreams
Am F
Then she married daddy so she tried to live through me

If I could just be skinny

Buttoned up so prim and pretty
Am F
I could marry up, see the world she didn't see

Guess it runs in the family

I might do it differently

'Cause I'm making my own way

I learned the good from them

But I learned from their mistakes
