F#                   G#m
I know water's that thicker than blood
        E                         B
That's deeper than love with my friends
F#               G#m
People come and some people go
     E                        B
And some people ride 'til the end

When I am blind, in my mind
I swear they'd be my rescue, my lifeline
I don't know what I'd do if I, if I'd survive
My brothers and my sisters in my life, yeah

Chorus:
F#                             G#m
I know some people, they would die for me
E                            B
We run together, they're my family
F#                          G#m
When I get up, they gon' be high with me
E                     B
I'll say forever, my family
F# G#m E B
         My family
F# G#m E                   B
       I'll say forever, my family

F# G#m E B
         My family
F# G#m E                   B
       I'll say forever, my family

Stolen dreams took our, our childish days
Still, ain't nothin' changed, now we're grown
We're still young, still got our mindless ways
In a timeless phase, kickin' stones

When I am blind, in my mind
I swear they'd be my rescue, my lifeline
I don't know what I'd do if I, if I'd survive
My brothers and my sisters in my life, yeah

Chorus:
I know some people, they would die for me (Die for me)
We run together, they're my family
When I get up, they gon' be high with me
(Gon' be high with me, yeah)
I'll say forever, my family

Family
I'll say forever, my family
Family
I'll say forever, my family

Chorus:
I know some people, they would die for me (Die for me)
We run together, they're my family
When I get up, they gon' be high with me
(Gon' be high with me, yeah)
I'll say forever, my family
