[Verse 1]
Em      G         A              Bm
    Our dad would send us to our room

            Em       G
He'd be the voice of doom

   A                  Bm
He said that we would thank him later

Em      G             A        Bm
    All day, he was solid as a rock

       Em      G
But by eight o'clock

        A             G/B
We'd be crumbling

Em      G      Aadd4              Bm
    One night, my brother Joe and me

                 Em     G
Climbed down the family tree

Aadd4                 Bm
That grew outside our bedroom window

Em      G             Aadd4            Bm
    We ran, though we knew it couldn't last

        Em       G
Running from the past

     Aadd4               Bm      D
From things that we were born to be
[Chorus]
        A             Bm 
Looking back, it's so bizarre

   F#5  G5     A5
It runs in the family

C       A5        D
All the things we are

       A                Bm
On the back seat of the car

     F#5  G5       A5
With Jo - seph and Emily

   C    A5     Bm7
We only see so far

       E            E/G#    D
And we all have our daddy's eyes

        A             Bm
Looking back, it's so bizarre

[Verse 2]
Em      G    Aadd4          Bm
    Dad rang the officer in charge

  Em     G
A man so large

Aadd4             Bm
He barely fit his circumstances

Em     G        Aadd4           Bm
    He said two kids out on the street

               Em     G
Were picked up on the beat

       Aadd4       Bm
And in the station

   Em      G   Aadd4          Bm
So there's me, with Emily and Joe

      Em      G
Daddy driving home

Aadd4              Bm     
All heading in the same direction

Em     G        Aadd4           Bm
    He knew, no matter what the breaks

              Em      G
We'd make the same mistakes

         Aadd4            Bm      D
Couldn't take his eyes of Joe and me
[Chorus]
        A             Bm 
Looking back, it's so bizarre

   F#5  G5     A5
It runs in the family

C       A5        D
All the things we are

       A                Bm
On the back seat of the car

     F#5  G5       A5
With Jo - seph and Emily

   C    A5     Bm7
We only see so far

       E            E/G#    D
And we all have our daddy's eyes

        A             Bm
Looking back, it's so bizarre

   F#5  G5     A5
It runs in the family

C       A5        Bm7
All the things we are

N.C.                  C
Looking back, it's so bizarre
[Bridge]
       Em7          D/F# 
Like a dream within a dream

          G6           Aadd4
We're all somewhere in between

Em7    D      C      D
Ooh,   ooh,   ooh,   ooh.

       Em7           D/F# 
Like a drummer plays his drum

       G6           A
Like a father, like a son

Em7    D      Cmaj7
Ooh,   ooh,   ooh.

N.C.     B7                     Em
And your gonna have to face the music

G     A        Bm       Em    G    A    Bm     
   oh yeah,    face the music
[Pre Coda - As intro]
     Em    G    A             Bm7            Em     G    A    Bm7
