[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

Looking back, it's so bizarre

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

All day he was solid as a rock
But by eight o'clock
We'd be crumbling

Climbed down the family tree
That grew outside our bedroom window
We ran though we knew it couldn't last
Running from the past
From things that we were born to be
Looking back it's so bizarre
It runs in the family
All the things we are
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
Dad rang the officer in charge
A man so large

All the things we are
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
And your gonna have to face the music
Hey hey
We keep it running in the family
Hey hey
We keep it coming in the family
Hey hey
We keep it running in the family
Hey hey
We keep it coming in the family
Looking back it's so bizarre
It runs in the family
All the things we are
On the backseat of the car
With Joseph and Emily
We only see so far
'Cause we all have our daddy's eyes
Take me back into your arms
It's no longer a mystery
There's no cause for alarm
Could have never come this far
With no sense of history
It always leaves a scar
And we all have our daddy's eyes
Looking back it's so bizarre
Running in the family
Running in the family
And we all have our daddy's eyes
Looking back it's so bizarre hey
