Cm
I think it's kinda fun to trace it
A#                      F
Back to where it all began
Cm
Back in Dublin in the kitchen
A#                     F
Up late talking to my mam
         Cm
She was standing by the oven,
a strong and stoic woman
   A#                         F
I saw her as an equal, as a friend
       Cm
And I saw myself inside her, a sobering reminder
   A#                           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                              G#
To skip a beat in the bloodline
 F                  Cm Gm Fm F
Oh, in the bloodline

I always feel like I'm the bad guy
'Cause I'm the one that upped and left
It kind of feels like living two lives
And always tryna catch your breath
Now I've gotta go my own way
Talk about a cliche
Remember to call home on the weekend
The radio is blaring
We turn into my parents
And it goes dark, and then it starts,
then it starts again

Chorus:
You can leave it all behind
Skip a beat in the bloodline
And you've been hiding all your life, it's time
To skip a beat in the bloodline
Oh, in the bloodline
Oh, in the bloodline

C
I don't wanna run away
A#      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
A#      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
A#        F                     C
We never talk about difficult things
Gm7       F                     C
We never talk about difficult things
A#        F                     C
We never talk about difficult things
Gm7       F                     C
We never talk about difficult things
