Intro: F#m D D
 
 
A                     E          A 
Down in her arms on a three-day drunk
          E         D           A    E
When the world was lawless and wild
         A                       E         F#m
With the last drop gone, and the lust all shrunk
   C#m          D           E
I clung to her chest like a child
    D/F#         E/G#       D/F#     A  
Too weak to hold on to the little I had
      D         E          D      E
Too ensnared to walk off unharmed
       D/F#        E/G#            D/F#     A
But to curl up and die didn't look all that bad
Bm   E       A
Down in her arms
 
 
Down in her arms, East Houston at dawn
Played under her breath in my ear
The pretty blue howl of a Joan Jett song
We were all poor and angry that year
A city in flames, and the hounds at the wall
Valhalla seemed not very far
Just one small step, and a bottomless fall
Down in her arms
 
 
Bridge:
D                                       E
Staring back at the path my passion led down
                                            E    
From a twelfth floor bedroom to the edge of endless dreams
A    G
Baby touch me now
 
 
Down in her arms, I looked up and caught
A glimpse of a magical love
But in a flash, it was just another false god
Struck down and dragged through the mud
In the faraway dark, he lay by my wife
His hands slowly working their charm
While I shut my eyes and held on for life
Down in her arms
