[Intro 1]
[C][G][Am][C][G][Am]
[C]
[G]Started when I was

[Verse 1]
[Em]23,
actin' like [Bm]my daddy
[C]I know, [G]I k[Em]now
[G]I r[Bm]ecogn[C]iz[G]e parts of you in me,
[Em]the parts that can't[G] find peace
[C]My soul [G]feels old[Am][Em][G]

[Verse 2]
I [C]made decisions to [D]prove I was different
But [Em]you follow me like a ghost
[C]Now I'm a little bit [D]lit and I'm
pleading the [Em]fifth
As I'm making a toast
[Am]People say I

[Verse 3]
[C]look like [G]you
They [Am]say that I got your e[Em]yes
My mother says I'm [C]tough [G]like you
Even in the [Am]ways that she don't like
And I [C]can't change [G]it,
didn't choose my blood
But [Am]I made up my mind
[Em]But I don't want to be l[C]ike [G]you
But either [Am]way,
I got you in my [C]DNA[G][Am][Em]
My DNA
[C][G][Am][Em]

[Verse 4]
[C]
I try to just [G]play pretend [Em]like I
didn't fall [G]apart again
I'm [C]lonely, [G]like am [Em]I the only[Bm] one?
[C]When blo[G]cking out the
shame stops working
[Em]Can't you tell,
can't [Am]you tell that I'm hurting?

[Verse 5]
[C]Hold [G]me, if you lov[Em]e me, come sho[G]w me
[Bm]Foun[C]d myself down
on the [D]pavement
No matter which [Em]way that I turned, I was low
[G]But you[C] went before me
and [D]traveled the stories
To [Em]places I shouldn't go
[Am]People say I

[Verse 6]
[C]look [G]like you
They [Am]say that I got your e[Em]yes
My mother says I'm [C]tough like [G]you
Even in the [Am]ways that she
don't like
And I can't [C]change it,
[G]didn't choose my blood
But [Am]I made up my [Em]mind
But I don't want to [C]be [G]like you
But either [Am]way, I got you in my DNA
[C]My DNA
[G]My [Am]DNA[Em][C][G][Am][Em]

[C]
The [G]t- shirt you gave me in

[Verse 7]
[Am]
'96
It's bleached and it's faded,
but it still fit[C]s
And I [G]know that you thought
that you fucked up
[Am]'Cause I used to too, but then I grew up[C]
Now I'm the [G]same age
you were when you had me
[Am]And I'm not ready to
be anybody's [C]daddy
[G]You and I, we both sing the same blues
[Am]I wish that you were here so
I could thank you

[Verse 8]
I know that I [C]look [G]like you
I [Am]see it in my own two e[Em]yes
My mother says I'm [C]tough [G]like you
Even in the [Am]ways I know she likes
And I'm not [C]angry,
[G]didn't choose my blood
But [Am]I made up my [Em]mind
I know that I'm [C]just [G]like you
'Cause either [Am]way,
I got you in my [C]DNA[G][Am][Em][C][G]
[Am]
