[Verse 1]
   Bm                    D
My father never talked a lot

        G
He just took a walk around the block

             Bm                   D
'Til all his anger took a hold of him

              G
And then he'd hit

   Bm                   D
My mother never cried a lot

             G
She took the punches, but she never fought

                    Bm                        D
'Til she said, "I'm leaving and I'll take the kids"

       G
So she did
[Pre-Chorus]
              Bm                D       G
I say they're just the ones who gave me life

      Bm          D        G*
But I truly am my parents' child
[Chorus]
           Bm              D
Scattered 'cross my family line

       G
I'm so good at telling lies

          Bm               D
That came from my mother's side

       G
Told a million to survive

           Bm              D
Scattered 'cross my family line

       G
God, I have my father's eyes

       Bm              D
But my sister's when I cry

      G
I can run, but I can't hide

        Bm     D      G
From my family line
[Verse 2]
     Bm                  D
It's hard to put it into words

        G
How the holidays will always hurt

            Bm                        D
I watch the fathers with their little girls

           G
And wonder what I did to deserve this

    Bm               D
How could you hurt a little kid?

  G
I can't forget, I can't forgive you

       Bm                  D                    G*
'Cause now I'm scared that everyone I love will leave me
[Chorus]
           Bm              D
Scattered 'cross my family line

       G
I'm so good at telling lies

          Bm               D
That came from my mother's side

       G
Told a million to survive

           Bm              D
Scattered 'cross my family line

       G
God, I have my father's eyes

       Bm              D
But my sister's when I cry

      G
I can run, but I can't hide

        Em     Bm      A
From my family line
[Post-Chorus]
        Em     Bm      A
From my family line
[Bridge] Oh-oh
Em                Bm
All that I did to try to undo it

A
All of my pain and all your excuses

Em               Bm
I was a kid, but I wasn't clueless

 A
(Someone who loves you wouldn't do this)

Em                Bm
All of my past, I try to erase it

A
But now I see, would I even change it

Em                     Bm
Might share a face and share a last name but

 A
(We are not the same, same)
[Chorus]
           Bm              D
Scattered 'cross my family line

       G
I'm so good at telling lies

          Bm               D
That came from my mother's side

       G
Told a million to survive

           Bm              D
Scattered 'cross my family line

       G
God, I have my father's eyes

       Bm              D
But my sister's when I cry

      G
I can run, but I can't hide

        Bm     D      G
From my family line
[Outro]
        Bm     D     G
From my family line (Mmhm)
