Runs In The Family

tabbed by Edgar Gonzalez Jr. http://www.edgargonzalezjr.com 

F                           Am
my friend has problems with winter and autumn
F                           Am
they give him prescriptions they shine bright lights on him
F                           Am
they say its genetic they say he cant help it
F                           Am
they say you can catch it - but sometimes you're born with it

F                           Am
my friend has blight he gets shakes in the night
F                           Am
and they say there is no way that they could have caught it in
F                           Am
time takes its toll on him it is traditional
F                           Am
it is inherited predisposition

Dm                          E                    F   
all day i've been wondering what is inside of me who can i blame for it
G
i say:

Dm                         F
it runs in the family this famine that carries me
              C                  Bb
to such great lengths to open my legs
Dm                        
up to anyone who’ll have me
               F                   C
it runs in the family i come by it honestly
            Bb                            Dm   F    C    Bb 
do what you want cause who knows it might fill me up

F                           Am
my friends depressed she's a wreck she's a mess
F                           Am                                     F
they’ve done all sorts of tests and they guess it has something to do with her grandmother
Am                       F
grandfathers grandmother civil war soldiers who
Am
badly infected her
F                      Am                    F                          Am
my friend has maladies rickets and allergies that she dates back to the 17th century
F                     Am              F  
somehow she manages - in her misery - strips in the city
    Am
and shares all her best tricks with

F                         Am                          F
me? well, i'm well. well, i mean i'm in hell. well, i still have my health
          Am
(at least that's what they tell me)
   F                         Am
if wellness is this, what in hells name is sickness?
     F
but, business is business!

and business

            Dm                       F
runs in the family we tend to bruise easily
           C                     Bb
bad in the blood i'm telling you ‘cause
i just want you to know me
Dm             F
know me and my family
                C
we’re wonderful folks
                  Bb                          Dm          F       C       Bb
but don't get too close to me cause you might knock me up

F                   Am 
mary have mercy now look what i've done
          F                       Am
but don't blame me because i cant tell where i come from
    F                         Am
and running is something that we’ve always done
         F                   Am
well and mostly i can’t even tell what i'm running from

Dm    
i run from their pity
     E
from responsibility
F
run from the country
    G
and run from the city

      Dm
i can run from the law
      E
i can run from myself
      F
i can run for my life
      G
i can run into debt

      Dm
i can run from it all
      E
i can run 'till i'm gone
      F
i can run for the office
    G
and run from the cause

      Dm              E
i can run using every last ounce of energy
F
i cannot
i cannot
G
i cannot
            Dm
run from my family
               F
they're hiding inside me
           C
corpses on ice
                 Bb
come in if you'd like
                       Dm
but just don't tell my family
             F
they'd never forgive me
                     C
they’ll say that i'm crazy
                   Bb
but they would say anything if it would
Dm        F       C        Bb
shut me up.....
