Love Like Blood
John Hiatt / Riding with the King 1983

        *
Take it easy baby
                        *
But take as much as you can
            *
Cause I got all the sweet loving
                   *
You could possibly stand
               *
I'll take your tears for drinking water
                     *
Make your pain sweet company
        *
You can lay all your burdens on my shoulder
                   *
Girl you mean that much to me

chorus 1:
       |1         /       /
I could climb the highest mountain
   4       |5       /        /     #5o
To show the world I could survive
       |6-              5
But without your lovin' baby
          |4        4/5
I wouldn't even be alive
          |*
Cause your love is like blood
          |*
Cause your love is like blood to me

Like a river baby
Your love is running thru me
And with ev'ry beat of our hearts
We're defying gravity
Just a little bit further on up the stream
There's a shady resting place
Where you can lose all your blues and your troubles
With just one sweet embrace

chorus 2:
Now I could do a million things
Just to prove that I'm a man
But there's only one woman
Who holds my life in her hands
Your love is like blood to me
Your love it's just like blood to me

b7                     6-
I don't care what your people say
     4                      1
Over my dead body will they ever take you away
b&                  6-
And any man cutting in on me
        2-          3-           4             5
Well he just better stop cause I can't spare a drop
    |*
Your love is like blood to me

Your love is like blood to me
