My Blood

Am             G                    C
 You came home crying from school today
F                  C                G
 Walked past me trying to hide the tears there on your face
Am             G        C
 It's hard for me to explain
F            C                    G
 How humans find the pleasure of causing people pain


[Pre-Chorus]
     F                 G
But sometimes there's more to the story
    Am
And we don't know what's going on in
F              G
 That home, behind closed doors
Am
Maybe there is something wrong
F                 G
 So be brave, my little one
Am
 I know you can be strong
F                               G
 'Cause you are just like your mom


[Chorus]
C        Dm
Say my name
F
 When you're hurting, darling
Am               G       F
I'll take the demons away
                         C       Dm
But you know there will come a day
F
 When I won't be there, but
Am                  G     F
I know that you'll be okay
N.C.                    C  Dm  F
'Cause you are my blood
                C  Dm  F
You're my blood


[Verse]
Am         G        C
 Oh, I was 22 years old
F           C                G
 My mother told me that you learn more as you go
Am               G            C
 But I've spent many nights alone
F           C              G
 Do I need more for me to make this house a home?


[Pre-Chorus]
        F                 G
'Cause sometimes there's more to the story
    Am
And they don't know what's going on in
F            G
 My life, behind those doors
Am
Maybe there is nothing wrong
F                 G
 And I will keep holding on
Am
 I know I can be strong
F                          G
 'Cause I am just like my mom


[Chorus]
                   C        Dm
And she told me, "Say my name
F
 When you're hurting, darling
Am               G       F
I'll take the demons away
                         C       Dm
But you know there will come a day
F
 When I won't be there, but
Am                  G      F
I know that you'll be okay
F
 'Cause you are my blood


[Bridge]
Am   F     G   C
My blood, my blood
Am   F   G            C
My blood, you're my blood
Am   F     G   C
My blood, my blood
Am   F   G            C
My blood, you're my blood


[Chorus]
    C        Dm
So say my name
F
 When you're hurting, darling
Am               G       F
I'll take the demons away
                         C       Dm
But you know there will come a day
F
 When I won't be there, but
Am                  G     F
I know that you'll be okay
F
 'Cause you are my blood


[Outro]
Am    F     G   C
(My blood) my blood, you're my...
Am    F         G            C
(My blood) yeah, you're my blood, you're my blood
Am    F     G   C
(My blood, my blood) ooh-ooh...
Am    F   N.C.
(My blood) you're my blood
