[Intro]
E A x2
[Verse 1]
E A
Let me start by saying that I love you
E B
You know that I'd do anything for you
E A
Ever since day one you know you were a wild one
E B E
And keeping you in line was hard to do
E A
I did wrong I know I've been hard on you
E B
And in return you put me to the test
E A
And our blood is so much thicker than that water
E B E
All I ever want for you is the best
[Chorus]
C#m
And it's weighing on my mind
B
I'm praying all the time
E A
Lord just help me see this through
A
There are people in this world
B C#m
Some are broken some are black and blue
A B
And I know that you'll take care of me
E
And I'll take care of you
[Verse 2]
E A
You're gonna want to go to California
E B
To search for fame or stake your claim to gold
E A
And that thing you'll talk about what you'll call freedom
E B E
Back in my day well we called that rock-n-roll
[Chorus]
C#m
And it's weighing on my mind
B
I'm praying all the time
E A
Lord just help her see this through
A
There are people in this world
B C#m
Some are broken some are black and blue
A B
And I know that you'll take care of me
E
And I'll take care of you
[Bridge]
A B
And I watch the sun rise in the sky
E
Another day and another year
And love and dreams and hopes and fears
A B C#m B A
And I don't ask why it's the ties that bind
[Verse 3]
E A
Life is good but things are never easy
E B
We laugh and cry and live and die alone
E A
You hold on to the one that really matters
E B E
You let go of the light when that bird has flown
[Chorus]
C#m
And it's weighing on my mind
B
I'm praying all the time
E A
Lord just help her see this through
A
There are people in this world
B C#m A
Some are broken some are black and blue, it's true
A
And I know that you'll be strong
B
You'll have faith and you'll know love
C#m B A
You'll have one of your own brand new
A B
And I know that you'll take care of her
E
And I'll take care of you
