Family Line

[Intro]
Am C Fmaj7
Am C

[Verse 1]
Fmaj7     Am                C
     My father never talked a lot
            Fmaj7
He just took     a walk around the block
               Am              C
`Til all his anger took a hold of him
And then he`d hit
Fmaj7     Am               C
     My mother never cried a lot
                Fmaj7
She took the punches, but she never fought
`Til she said,
       Am                 C
I`m leaving and I`ll take the kids
So she did

[Pre-Chorus]
Fmaj7              Am           C                Fmaj7
     I say they`re just the ones who gave me life
      Am       C                Fmaj7
But I truly am my parents` child

[Chorus]
          Am            C
Scattered `cross my family line
           Fmaj7
I`m so good     at telling lies
              Am           C
That came from  my mother`s side
          Fmaj7
Told a million to survive
          Am            C
Scattered `cross my family line
           Fmaj7
God, I have     my father`s eyes
          Am          C
But my sister`s when I cry
          Fmaj7
I can run,     but I can`t hide
            Am     C
From my family line

[Verse 2]
Fmaj7         Am            C
     It`s hard  to put it into words
          Fmaj7
How the holidays will always hurt
              Am                     C
I watch the fathers with their little girls
               Fmaj7
And wonder what     I did to deserve this

[Pre-Chorus]
         Am         C
How could  you hurt a little kid?
       Fmaj7
I can`t     forget, I can`t forgive you
       Am                 C
`Cause now I`m scared that everyone I love will
     Fmaj7
leave     me

[Chorus]
          Am            C
Scattered `cross my family line
           Fmaj7
I`m so good     at telling lies
              Am           C
That came from  my mother`s side
          Fmaj7
Told a million to survive
          Am            C
Scattered `cross my family line
           Fmaj7
God, I have     my father`s eyes
          Am          C
But my sister`s when I cry
          Fmaj7
I can run,     but I can`t hide

[Interlude]
            Dm     Am G
From my family line
            Dm     Am G
From my family line
Ohoh

[Bridge]
Dm             Am
All that I did to try to undo it
G
All of my pain and all of your excuses
Dm           Am
I was a kid, but I wasn`t clueless
G
Someone who loves you wouldn`t do this
Dm             Am
All of my past I try to erase it
G
But now I see would I even change it
Dm                 Am
Might share a face and share a last name but
G
We are not the same, same

[Chorus]
          Am            C
Scattered `cross my family line
           Fmaj7
I`m so good     at telling lies
              Am           C
That came from  my mother`s side
          Fmaj7
Told a million to survive
          Am            C
Scattered `cross my family line
           Fmaj7
God, I have     my father`s eyes
          Am          C
But my sister`s when I cry
          Fmaj7
I can run,     but I can`t hide

[Outro]
            Am     C
From my family line
Fmaj7            Am     C
     From my family line
    Fmaj7
Mmhm
