Verse 1:
C majorC                E minorEm
Grandpa liked green alcohol and women way too much
   A minorAm              FF
That trailerpark small town bo who never quite grew up
  C majorC
The hitting and the cheating
  E minorEm
The quitting and the leaving
  A minorAm               FF
The apple didn't fall far from the tree
             C majorC
Guess it runs in the family

Verse 2:
C majorC             E minorEm
Daddy had a hard life, he grew up way too fast
A minorAm             FF
Taking care of business, he shouldn't have
C majorC
Generation to generation
E minorEm
Same old shit, new iteration
  Am7Am7                     FF
He yelled at me like they yelled at him in the Navy
             C majorC
Guess it runs in the family


Chorus:
     FF           C majorC
I've got daddy's temper and his heart of gold
    A minorAm          G+G
I'm an overspender and from what I'm told
     FF         C majorC
I got my momma's lips and anxiety
    A minorAm
All the things she tried to fix
    G+G                C majorC
So the irony is that it runs in the family

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do

C majorC                    E minorEm
Momma thought that being perfect was the way to live her dreams
A minorAm              FF
Then she married daddy so she tried to live through me
  C majorC
If I could just be skinny
     E minorEm
Buttoned up so prim and pretty
    A minorAm                 FF
I could marry up, see the world she didn't see
             C majorC
Guess it runs in the family


Chorus:
     FF           C majorC

I'm an overspender and from what I'm told
     FF         C majorC
I got my momma's lips and anxiety
    A minorAm
All the things she tried to fix
    G+G                C majorC
So the irony is that it runs in the family


Bridge:
    FF
I might do it differently
      E minorEm
'Cause I'm making my own way
 FF
I learned the good from them
   G+G
But I learned from their mistakes


Verse 4:
    C majorC                E minorEm
So I'm fighting off my demons that are coming straight for me
    A minorAm           FF          G+G
I know it's hereditary but I'm trying to break free
N.C.           C majorC
From what runs in my family
