Verse 1 : She was born in Kansas City, raised in Arkansas 
                   G                   D   A 
          Fell in love with an Ex-Marine 
                D                              Bm 
          She already had three babies; he had one of his own 
                       Em          D/F#       A ( A4 A ) 
          They came together for another and me 
          G                            A 
          Our family never shared the same last name 
          G                    A 
          But our family was a family the same, and they say 
          D                     Bm 
Refrain : Blood is thicker than water 
                   Em      A           D   ( D4 D ) 
          Oh, but love is thicker than blood 
          D                         Bm 
Verse 2 : Wreck out on the highway, rain falling down 
                    G                            D  A 
          Lord, he must have fell asleep at the wheel 
                     D                     Bm 
          There's a number of people just standing around 
                 Em                D/F#            A ( A4 A ) 
          Lord I can't condemn the fear that they feel 
                   Bm       Bm/A             G 
          For that river of red could be the death of me 
          Em            D/F#                G      A 
          God, give me strength and keep reminding me that 
          D                     Bm 
Refrain : Blood is thicker than water 
                   Em      A           D 
          Oh, but love is thicker than blood 
                 G                      D 
Bridge :  And if blood is thicker than water 
                    C                      D 
          Well then what are we fighthing for 
          G                   F#m 
          We're all sons and daughters 
               G                          Gmaj7/E   A 
          Of something that means so much more 
             D                    Bm 
Verse 3 : I see it on my TV but I can't understand 
                    G                        D     A 
          Lord it's one big contradiction to me 
                       D                              Bm 
          How in God's name we love thy neighbor with fists in our hands 
                        Em            D/F#         A 
          And kill each other when we just don't agree 
          G                             A 
          Why can't we see the walls we can't see through 
          G                               A 
          And see what God's been telling me and you, and that is 
          D                     Bm 
Refrain : Blood is thicker than water 
                   Em7           A           ( D ) 
          Oh, but love, love is thicker than blood
