Thicker Than Blood
Recorded by Garth Brooks
Written by Jenny Yates and Garth Brooks

F       C                   Am
She was born in Kansas City raised in Arkansas
        F               C     G7
Fell in love with an ex-Marine
    C                               Am
She already had three babies he had one of his own
          Dm           C           G7
They came together for another and me

F                           G7
Our family never shared the same last name
F                    G7
But our family was a family the same
             C                     Am
And they say blood is thicker than water
       Dm      G7           C
Oh but love is thicker than blood

                              Am
Wreck out on the highway rain falling down
        F                            C     G7
Lord he must have fell asleep at the wheel
          C                     Am
There's a number of people just standing around
             Dm          C              G7
Lord I can't condemn the fear that they feel

         Am       C                F
For that river of red could be the death of me
Dm          C                 F         G7
God give me strength and keep reminding me
     C                     Am
That blood is thicker than water
       Dm      G7           C
Oh but love is thicker than blood

       F                     C
And if blood is thicker than water
     A#7         F        C
Then what are we fighting for
F                  Em
We're all sons and daughters
   F                                G7
Of something that means so much more

  C                     Am
I see it on my TV but I can't understand
          F                        C  G7
Lord it's one big contradiction to me
             C
How in God's name we love thy neighbor 
     Am
With fists in our hands
              Dm            C          G7
And kill each other when we just don't agree

F                             G7
Why can't we see the walls we can't see through
F                               G7
And see what God's been telling me and you
            C                     Am
And that is blood is thicker than water
       Dm           G7           C
Oh but love love is thicker than blood

F       C                   Am
She was born in Kansas City raised in Arkansas
        F               C
Fell in love with an ex-Marine
