[Intro 1]
[Em][G][C]
[Em][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[Em]ther never talked a lo[G]t
He just [C]took a walk around the block
'Til all his [Em]an ger took a hold of[G] him
And then he'd [C]hit
My [Em]mother never cried [G]a lot
She took the [C]punches, but she never fought
'Til she said, "I'm [Em]leavin' and I'll take [G]the kids"
So she [C]did

[Pre-chorus 1]
I say they're [Em]just the ones
[G]who gave me lif[C]e
But I [Em]truly am [G]my parents' [C]child

[Chorus 1]
Scattered [Em]'cross my fami[G]ly line
I'm so [C]good at telling lies
That came [Em]from my moth[G]er's side
Told a [C]million to survive
Scattered [Em]'cross my fam[G]ily line
God, I [C]have my father's eyes
But my [Em]sister's when [G]I cry
I can [C]run, but I can't hide
from my [Em]fam- ily [G]line[C]

[Verse 2]
It's [Em]hard to put it in[G]to words
How the [C]holidays will always hurt
I watch the [Em]fathers with their [G]little girls
And wonder [C]what I did to deserve this

[Pre-chorus 2]
How [Em]could you hurt [G]a little kid?
I [C]can't forget, I can't forgive you
'Cause [Em]now I'm scared
[G]that everyone I love will [C]leave me

[Chorus 2]
Scattered [Em]'cross my fami[G]ly line
I'm so [C]good at telling lies
That came [Em]from my moth[G]er's side
Told a [C]million to survive
Scattered [Em]'cross my fam[G]ily line
God, I [C]have my father's eyes
But my [Em]sister's when [G]I cry
I can [C]run, but I can't hide
from my [Am]fam- ily [Em]line[D]
From my [Am]fam- ily [Em]line[D]

[Bridge 1]
Oh, [Am]all that I did t[Em]o try to undo it
[D]All of my pain and all of your excuses
[Am]I was a kid, but[Em] I wasn't clueless
[D](Someone who loves you wouldn't this)
[Am]All of my past, [Em]I tried to erase it
[D]But now I see, would I even change it?
[Am]Might share a face [Em]and share a last name but
[D](We are not the same)

[Chorus 3]
Scattered [Em]'cross my fami[G]ly line
I'm so [C]good at telling lies
That came [Em]from my moth[G]er's side
Told a [C]million to survive
Scattered [Em]'cross my fam[G]ily line
God, I [C]have my father's eyes
But my [Em]sister's when [G]I cry
I can [C]run, but I can't hide

[Outro 1]
From my [Em]fam- ily [G]line[C]
[Em]From my fam- ily [G]line[C]
