[Verse 1]
It’s Amall in a family, that’s no lie
Even Fstays that way after we die
Leaves, Cbranches, twigs on a E7family tree
And the forest can be hard to see.
[Verse 2]
MotAmher and father are in charge
And the Fbrand-new baby will loom large
CBrothers, sisters, E7uncles, aunts
It’s a family life so take a cAmhance.
[Chorus 1]
It’s a Cwork in progress, E7can’t you see?
And the Amwhy, wherefore is a mE7ystery
When they Cfamily fights they E7know nextdoor,
AmNo one wins in a E7family war.
[Verse 3]
Then Amthere’s that thing it’s all made of
Dare Fwe sing that the thing is love
Love Cheals heartache and faE7milial pain
And what family is not insAmane? E7
[Instrumental break]
Am F C E7 Am E7
[Verse 4]
Just Amgive them all a hug and a kiss
At the Fwake, the wedding, birthday, briss,
At the Cfunction let dysE7function rule
no shallow end in the family pool.
[Verse 5]
We Amgather for the holiday
and Fpray for a quick safe getaway
No Cone so close, noE7thing so real
And the smallest thing is the biggest dealAm. E7
[Chorus 2]
That Cso and so did E7such and such
How Amcan you love someE7one so much?
ForCgive, forget and E7finally see
The Amforest from the E7family tree.
[Verse 6]
It’s Amall in a family, that’s no lie
It’ll Fstay that way after we die
You forgCive, forget and E7finally see
When you get to hold the new baAmby.
