[C#] [F] [A#m] [F#] [G#] [D#m]
[C#] [A#m] [F#] [Fm] [G#]
[C#] When [F#] it's [C#] family, you [A#m] forgive them for [F#] they know not what [C#] they do.
When [F#] it's [C#] family, [A#m] you accept [D#m] them cause [F#] you have no [C#] choice but to.
When [F#] it's [C#] family, [A#m] they're a mirror of [F#] the worst and best [C#] in you.
[A#m] And they always put [F#] you to the test, [A#m] and you always try [F#] to do your best.
[A#m] And just pray [C#] for [F#] God to do the rest.
[G#] When it's [D#m] [C#] family.
Some are preacher, some are gay, [F#] some are [F#m] adders, drunks and strays, [C#] but not [G#m] one [A#] is turned away [D#] when it's [A#m]
[G#] family.
[C#] Some are lucky, others [F#] ain't, some are fighters, [F#m] others faint, [C#] [G#m] winners, [A#] losers, sinners, saints, [D#] it's [G#] all [C#] family.
And when [F#] it's [C#] family, [A#m] you trust them and [F#] your heart's an [C#] open door.
When [F#] it's [C#] family, [A#m] you tolerate [F#] what you'd kill [C#] others for.
When [F#] it's family, [C#]
[A#m] you love and hate [F#] and take then give [C#] some more.
[A#m] Somehow you [F#] justify mistakes, [A#m] try to find [F#] some better way [A#m] to solve [Fm] the [F#] problems day to day [Fm] in the [D#m] [C#] family.
You take the trouble as it [F#] comes and love [F#m] more than anyone, [C#] good [G#m] or bad [A#] or indifferent, [D#] it's still [G#] family.
[C#] You choose your lovers, you pick your [F#] friends, but not the [F#m] family that you're in, [C#] no.
[B] They'll be with [A#] you till the end, [D#] cause it's [G#]
[C#] family.
And when [F#] it's [C#] family, [A#m] you forgive them for [F#] they know not what [C#] they do.
[F#] When it's [C#] family, [A#m] they're a mirror [F#] of the worst and [C#] best in you.
When [F#] it's [C#] family, when [F#] it's family, [C#] let [F#] me be all that [C#] I should be [Fm] to the [D#m] [C#] family.
[F#] [Fm] [G#] [C#]
