Verse 1
[Em] Our [G]dad would [A]send us to our [Bm]room
He'd be the [Em]voice of [G]doom
He [A]said that we would [Bm]thank him later
[Em] All [G]day, he was [A]solid as a [Bm]rock
But by [Em]eight [G]o'clock
We'd be [A]crumbling[G/B]
[Em] One [G]night, [Aadd4]my brother Joe and [Bm]me
Climbed down the [Em]family [G]tree
[Aadd4]That grew outside our [Bm]bedroom window
[Em] We [G]ran, though we [Aadd4]knew it couldn't [Bm]last
Running [Em]from the [G]past
From [Aadd4]things that we were [Bm]born to [D]be
Chorus
Looking [A]back, it's so [Bm]bizarre
It [F#5]runs [G5]in the [A5]family
[C]All the [A5]things we [D]are
On the [A]back seat of the [Bm]car
With [F#5]Jo - [G5]seph and [A5]Emily
We [C]only [A5]see so [Bm7]far
And we [E]all have our [E/G#]daddy's [D]eyes
Looking [A]back, it's so [Bm]bizarre

Verse 2
[Em] Dad [G]rang [Aadd4]the officer in [Bm]charge
A [Em]man so [G]large
[Aadd4]He barely fit his [Bm]circumstances
[Em] He [G]said two [Aadd4]kids out on the [Bm]street
Were picked up [Em]on the [G]beat
And in [Aadd4]the station[Bm]
So [Em]there's [G]me, [Aadd4]with Emily and [Bm]Joe
Daddy [Em]driving [G]home
[Aadd4]All heading in the [Bm]same direction
[Em] He [G]knew, no [Aadd4]matter what the [Bm]breaks
We'd make the [Em]same [G]mistakes
Couldn't [Aadd4]take his eyes of [Bm]Joe and [D]me

Like a [Em7]dream within [D/F#]a dream
We're all [G6]somewhere in [Aadd4]between
[Em7]Ooh, [D]ooh, [C]ooh, [D]ooh.
