Cm  Bb F


[Verse 1]

Cm
 I think it's kinda fun to trace it
Bb                      F
 Back to where it all began
Cm
 Back in Dublin in the kitchen
Bb                     F
 Up late talking to my mam
        Cm
She was standing by the oven, a strong and stoic woman
  Bb                              F
I saw her as an equal, as a friend
      Cm
And I saw myself inside her, a sobering reminder
   Bb                           F
We all become our mother in the end


[Chorus]

Cm
 You can leave it all behind
Gm                           F
 Skip a beat in the bloodline
Cm
 And you've been hiding all your life, it's time
Gm                              Ab
 To skip a beat in the bloodline
F*                  Cm  Gm Fm F*
Oh, in the bloodline


[Verse 2]

Cm
 I always feel like I'm the bad guy
Bb                                F
'Cause I'm thе one that upped and left
Cm
 It kinda feels likе living two lives
Bb                               F
 And always trying to catch your breath
      Cm
Now I gotta go my own way, talk about a cliché
  Bb                                F
Remember to call home on the weekend
    Cm
The radio is blaring, we turn into my parents
Bb                            F
 And it goes dark and then it starts and then it starts again


[Chorus]

Cm
 You can leave it all behind
Gm                           F
 Skip a beat in the bloodline
Cm
 And you've been hiding all your life, it's time
Gm                              Ab
 To skip a beat in the bloodline
F*                  Cm  Bb F
Oh, in the bloodline
                    Cm  Bb F  C
Oh, in the bloodline


[Outro]

C  Bb F

C  Gm7 F*

C
 I don't wanna run away
Bb       F
 But you, you don't get me
C
 I, I keep it all in
Gm7             F*                   C
'Cause we never talk about difficult things

I don't wanna run away
Bb       F
 But you, you don't get me
C
 I, I keep it all in
Gm7             F*                   C
'Cause we never talk about difficult things
Bb        F                    C
 We never talk about difficult things
Gm7       F                    C
 We never talk about difficult things
Bb        F                    C
 We never talk about difficult things
Gm7       F                    C
 We never talk about difficult things
