[Am] [C] [F]
[Am] [C] [F]
my [Am]father never talked [C]a lot
he just [F]took a walk around the block
’til all his [Am]anger took a hold [C]of him
and then he’d [F]hit..
my [Am]mother never cried [C]a lot
she took the [F]punches,
but she never fought
’til she said, i’m [Am]leaving
and i’ll take [C]the kids
so she [F]did..
i say, they’re [Am]just the ones
[C]who gave me li[F]fe..
but i [Am]truly am [C]my parents’ [F]child..
Chorus
scattered ‘[Am]cross my fami[C]ly line..
i’m so [F]good at telling lies..
that came [Am]from my mo[C]ther’s side..
told a [F]million to survive..
scattered ‘[Am]cross my fami[C]ly line..
God, i [F]have my father’s eyes..
but my [Am]sister’s when [C]i cry..
i can [F]run, but i can’t hide..
from my f([Am])amily line..
Intro
[Am] [C] [F]
it’s [Am]hard to put it in[C]to words
how the [F]holidays will always hurt
i watch the [Am]fathers
with their lit[C]tle girls
and wonder [F]what i did to deserve this..
how [Am]could you hurt [C]a little kid?
i [F]can’t forget, i can’t forgive you..
cause [Am]now i’m scared
[C]that everyone i love will [F]leave me
Chorus
scattered ‘[Am]cross my fami[C]ly line..
i’m so [F]good at telling lies..
that came [Am]from my mo[C]ther’s side..

scattered ‘[Am]cross my fami[C]ly line..
God, i [F]have my father’s eyes..
but my [Am]sister’s when [C]i cry..
i can [F]run, but i can’t hide..
from my fa[Dm]mily [Am]line[G]..
from my fa[Dm]mily [Am]line[G]..
ooh.. [Dm]all that i did [Am]to try to undo it..
[G]all of my pain and all your excuses..
[Dm]i was a kid, [Am]but i wasn’t clueless..
[G]
(someone who loves you wouldn’t do this)
[Dm]all of my past, [Am]i tried to erase it..
[G]but now i see, would i even change it..?
[Dm]might share a face
[Am]and share a last name but
[G]
(we are not the same, same)
