Capo: 4
-Verse 1-
My [Bm] father never talked a [D] lot
He just [G] took a walk around the block
'Til all his [Bm] anger took a hold of [D] him
And then he'd [G] hit
My [Bm] mother never cried a [D] lot
She took the [G] punches, but she never fought
'Til she said, "I'm [Bm] leaving and I'll take the [D] kids"
So she [G] did
-Pre-Chorus-
I say, "They're [Bm] just the ones who [D] gave me [G] life"
But I [Bm] truly am my [D] parents' [G] child
-Chorus-
Scattered '[Bm] cross my family [D] line
I'm so [G] good at telling lies
That came [Bm] from my mother's [D] side
Told a [G] million to survive
Scattered '[Bm] cross my family [D] line
God, I [G] have my father's eyes
But my [Bm] sister's when I [D] cry
I can [G] run, but I can't hide
From my [Bm] family [D] line [G]
-Verse 2-
It's [Bm] hard to put it into [D] words
How the [G] holidays will always hurt
I watch the [Bm] fathers with their little [D] girls
And wonder [G] what I did to deserve this
How [Bm] could you hurt a [D] little kid?
I [G] can't forget, I can't forgive you
'Cause [Bm] now I'm scared that [D] everyone I love will [G] leave me
-Chorus-
Scattered '[Bm] cross my family [D] line
I'm so [G] good at telling lies
That came [Bm] from my mother's [D] side
Told a [G] million to survive
Scattered '[Bm] cross my family [D] line
God, I [G] have my father's eyes
But my [Bm] sister's when I [D] cry
I can [G] run, but I can't hide
From my [Em] family [Bm] line [A]
-Post-Chorus-
From my [Em] family [Bm] line [A]
-Bridge-
Oh-oh
[Em] All that I did to [Bm] try to undo it
[A] All of my pain and all your excuses
[Em] I was a kid, but [Bm] I wasn't clueless
([A] Someone who loves you wouldn't do this)
[Em] All of my past, I [Bm] tried to erase it
[A] But now I see, would I even change it?
[Em] Might share a face and [Bm] share a last name but
([A] We are not the same, same)
-Chorus-
Scattered '[Bm] cross my family [D] line
I'm so [G] good at telling lies
That came [Bm] from my mother's [D] side
Told a [G] million to survive
Scattered '[Bm] cross my family [D] line
God, I [G] have my father's eyes
But my [Bm] sister's when I [D] cry
I can [G] run, but I can't hide
From my [Bm] family [D] line [G]
-Outro-
From my [Bm] family [D] line ([G] Mmhm)
