[Intro]
A E A
[Verse 1]
A
Oh these arms that hang here by my side,
A A7
Yeah these arms that ache to open wide.
D A
Are useless arms with nothing left to do,
A E A
Since these arms stopped holding you.
[Verse 2]
A
Oh these arms are worthless now to me,
A A7
They let you go so how good could they be?
D A
Just foolish arms for which I have no need,
A E A D A
A pair of arms that grew weak and set love free.
[Chorus]
E D A
Reaching out to embrace a vacant memory,
E G
Finding just the empty space, around what's left of me.
A
Two arms that failed completely,
D
Arms both scarred so deeply.
B7 E
Keep paying love's costs with each tragic sway.
[Instrumental]
A A7 D A E A D A
[Chorus]
E D A
Trying meekly to assist my struggle with the truth.
E G
Unable to resist what tears still make us view.
A
Two arms that failed completely,
D
Arms both scarred so deeply.
B7 E
Keep paying love's costs with each tragic sway.
[Verse 3]
A
Wo-oh these arms that hang here by my side,
A A7
Woah these arms that ache to open wide.
D A
Two useless arms with nothing left to do,
A E A D
Since these arms stopped holding you.
A E A E7 A
Since these arms stopped holding you.
