Jewel – Family Tree (Guitar)

C                Em
Mama, I see your face now

       Dm
In the mirror

              F  G/B
It's getting clearer

C                         Em
Daddy, all those things I said I wouldn't do

     Dm
I've been drawn to

         F            G/B
'Cause I looked up to you

         Am                     G/B         F
And I've loved you through this tangled legacy

            F                         G/B
Tracing the twisted roots of our family tree

         C  F        C
I stayed strong like you did

        Em F      Gsus4
I moved on.. like you did

      Am                          F
And I wound up tough as stone like you did

           C                F              G/B
If I don't learn to bend, I know I'm gonna break

     C      G/B
Like you did

C                Em
Lover, I must forgive you

     Dm
I confused you

     F               G/B
With what I couldn't see

  C
Inside of me

            Em
Dark things pulling

     Dm
Not evolving

       F             G/B
Made a puppet out of me

        Am             G/B      F
And you came with your own history

            F                            G/B
Both caught in the branches of our family tree

              C F        C
But I stayed strong like you did

        Em F      Gsus4
I moved on.. like you did

      Am                      F
And I wound up all alone like you did

           C                F              G/B
If I don't learn to bend, I know I'm gonna break

     Am          G/B
Just like you did

  Am                     F#dim
I love you but I need to look at who we've been

Am                                     F#dim
Take the fruit but choose the seeds I scatter in the wind

           Dm
That's the job of the kid

      C/E                    F
To do better than our parents did

              C F       C
So I'll stay strong like you did

              Em F       Gsus4
And I'll move on... like you did

      Am                           F
But I won't hide from the truth like you did

    C           F              G/B
I'm learning to bend so I won't break

            C                 F                    G/B
And you can bet I'll teach my child that love will always find a way

         F   C/E F G/B C
Just like you did
