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

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'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


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

I know it's hereditary but I'm trying to break free
N.C.                     C majorC
From what runs in my family
