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
