John Hiatt (born on August 20, 1952 in Indianapolis, Indiana, U.S.) is an American blues and rock guitarist, pianist, and singer-songwriter. He has been nominated for eleven Grammy Awards. Hiatt's sales have never quite matched his reputation. His songs have been covered by a wide variety of artists such as Bonnie Raitt, Ronnie Milsap, Willie Nelson, Iggy Pop, Three Dog Night, and The Neville Brothers, yet it took him thirteen years to reach the charts himself.

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
