[Verse]
Em            A
Our dad would send us to our room
            Em 
He'd be the voice of doom
   A 
He said that we would thank him later
Em              A
All day, he was solid as a rock
       Em
But by eight o'clock
        A             A7
We'd be crumbling
Em            A
One night, my brother Joe and me
                 Em
Climbed down the family tree
     A
That grew outside our bedroom window
Em                A
We ran, though we knew it couldn't last
        Em
Running from the past
     A                           D
From things that we were born to be


[Chorus]
        A               Bm 
Looking back, it's so bizarre
   G            A
It runs in the family
C                 D
All the things we are
       A                Bm
On the back seat of the car
     G          A
With Joseph and Emily
   C           Bm
We only see so far
       E                    D  
And we all have our daddy's eyes
        A               Bm
Looking back, it's so bizarre

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


[Chorus]
        A               Bm 
Looking back, it's so bizarre
   G            A
It runs in the family
C                 D
All the things we are
       A                Bm
On the back seat of the car
     G          A
With Joseph and Emily
   C           Bm
We only see so far
       E                    D  
And we all have our daddy's eyes
        A               Bm
Looking back, it's so bizarre
   G            A
It runs in the family
C                 Bm
All the things we are
N.C.                  C
Looking back, it's so bizarre


[Bridge]
       Em             Bm/F# 
Like a dream within a dream
          Em/G            A7 
We're all somewhere in between
Em     D      C      D
Ooh,   ooh,   ooh,   ooh.

       Em                Bm/F#
Like a drummer plays his drum
       Em/G           A 
Like a father, like a son
Em     D      Cmaj7
Ooh,   ooh,   ooh.
N.C.
And your gonna have to face the music
Em       A           Em      A     
oh yeah,    face the music

[Pre Coda - As intro]
     Em    A                            Em      A 
Hey! Hey!     we keep it running in the family
     Em    A                            Em      A
Hey! Hey!     we keep on coming in the family
