Chords in this song7
capo 3 — sounds 3 semitones higherVerse 1
Mom married young cause she had to get out
Daddy got drunk cause he wanted to drown
Grandpa smokes pot and grandpa won't fly
He's been like that since my grandma died
Verse 2
I never lived anywhere more than one year
And dad would do anything after one beer
And mama got good at not shedding one tear
And sister would ask "What are we doing here?"
And people I know don't know my last name
Go by the one in the middle these days
Chorus
This family tree used to stand at 50 feet
But the bark got thin and the limbs got tangled
And the apples all got strangled by the family tree
Lately we've been losing leaves
Who they are ain't who I wanna be
I hope my roots don't run that deep
Verse 3
Hole In the cabinet since I was two
Dad said he hit a bug with a shoe
So I don't drink liquor, I don't go out
Sit with my cat alone on my couch
Chorus
This family tree used to stand at 50 feet
But the bark got thin and the limbs got tangled
And the apples all got strangled by the family tree
Lately we've been losing leaves
Who they are ain't who I wanna be
I hope my roots don't run that deep, deep, deep, deep
Interlude
Bridge
Got my father's eyes and my mother's mouth
Daddy's sense of pride and my momma's doubt
Don't know if I should water it or if I should be chopping down
Chorus
This family tree used to stand at 50 feet
But the bark got thin and the limbs got tangled
And the apples all got strangled by the family tree
Lately we've been losing leaves
Who they are ain't who I wanna be
I hope my roots don't run that deep
Deep, deep, deep
Ooooh
