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

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

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

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

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

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

and business

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

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

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

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

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

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