Intro:

C  Am  C  G



Verse 1:
C                Em
Grandpa liked green alcohol and women way too much
   Am              F
That trailerpark small town bo who never quite grew up
  C
The hitting and the cheating
  Em
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
C
Generation to generation
Em
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
     F         C
I got my momma's lips and anxiety
    Am
All the things she tried to fix
    G                C
So the irony is that it runs in the family

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
  C
If I could just be skinny
     Em
Buttoned up so prim and pretty
    Am                 F
I could marry up, see the world she didn't see
             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
     F         C
I got my momma's lips and anxiety
    Am
All the things she tried to fix
    G                C
So the irony is that it runs in the family


Bridge:
    F
I might do it differently
      Em
'Cause I'm making my own way
 F
I learned the good from them
   G
But I learned from their mistakes


Verse 4:
    C                Em
So I'm fighting off my demons that are coming straight for me
    Am           F          G
I know it's hereditary but I'm trying to break free
N.C.           C
From what runs in my family
