[VERSE 1]
There's s[G6]adness in the f[C]amily, Dad t[Em]old me
Let's not s[G6]peak of it, it o[C]nly brings us d[Em]own
And there's s[G6]adness in the [C]DNA, I've k[Em]nown it
I've f[G6]elt it in the p[C]avements of this t[Em]own

[CHORUS]
I've lived my l[C]ife with a backpack that was n[Dsus2]ever mine to c[Em]arry
Heard its constant wh[C]ine, smelled its body that was n[Dsus2]ever mine to [Em]bury

[VERSE 2]
There's t[G6]rouble in the g[C]enes, Dad t[Em]old me
Don't [G6]ask again, best w[C]e don't bring it [Em]up

[CHORUS 2]
But Dad, it seems you can't clear a[C]way the smoke of f[Dsus2]ires you can't f[Em]ind
I've lived my l[C]ife with a longing that I c[Dsus2]an't identi[Em]fy
I've been k[C]ept from, h[Dsus2]eld from kn[Em]owing
Daddy, that's why it ke[C]eps gr[Dsus2]owing

[VERSE 3]
I f[G6]ound the dead ani[C]mal the smell s[Em]tems from
I f[G6]ound the story from w[C]hich the shadow was [Em]cast

[BRIDGE]
[Em]I searched and searched and now that I found it
I w[C]an[Dsus2]t to give it b[Em]ack
[Em]I searched and searched and now that I found it
I w[C]an[Dsus2]t to give it b[Em]ack

[VERSE 4]

There's tr[G6]ouble in the fa[C]mily, I t[Em]ell you
I k[G6]now and now that I d[C]o [Em]
Kid, I'm p[G6]assing it on to y[C]ou [Em]

[BRIDGE 2]
But let's not speak of it, s[C]on, i[Dsus2]t only brings us d[Em]own
But let's not speak of it, s[C]on, i[Dsus2]t only brings us d[Em]own
