[Intro]
G G/F# Em7 Em7/B Cadd9 C/B G
G G/F# Em7 Em7/B Cadd9 C/B G
[Verse 1]
G Em7 Cadd9 G
How much of my mother has my mother left in me
G G D D
How much of my love will be insane to some degree
G Em7 Cadd9 G
And what about this feeling that I'm never good enough
Em7 G D G G G G
Will it wash out in the water or is it always in the blood
[Verse 2]
G Em7 Cadd9 G
How much of my father am I destined to become
G G D D
Will I dim the lights inside me just to satisfy someone
G Em7 Cadd9 G
Will I let this woman kill me or do away with jealous love
Em7 G D G G
Will it wash out in the water or is it always in the blood
[Chorus 1]
Em7 G Cadd9 G
I can feel the love I want, I can feel the love I need
Em7 G D D
But it's never gonna come the way I am
Em7 G Cadd9 G
Could I change it if I wanted, can I rise above the flood
Em7 G D G G G G
Will it wash out in the water or is it always in the blood
[Verse 3]
G Em7 Cadd9 G
How much like my brothers do my brothers wanna be
G G D D
Does a broken home become another broken family
G Em7 Cadd9 G
Or will we be there for each other like nobody ever could
Em7 G D G G
Will it wash out in the water or is it always in the blood
[Chorus 2]
Em7 G Cadd9 G
I can feel the love I want, I can feel the love I need
Em7 G D D
But it's never gonna come the way I am
Em7 G Cadd9 G
Could I change it if I wanted, can I rise above the flood
Em7 G D G G
Will it wash out in the water or is it always in the blood
