[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
[Break]

[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

With Joseph and Emily

We only see so far

And we all have our daddy's eyes

Looking back, it's so bizarre

Like a dream within a dream

We're all somewhere in between

Like a drummer plays his drum

Like a father, like a son
Em D Cmaj7
Ooh, ooh, ooh.

And your gonna have to face the music
