A   E   A
INTRO



These arms that hang here by my side,
                             E
These arms that ache to open wide.
        A                         D
Useless arms with nothing left to do,
            A   E                A
Since these arms stopped holding you.



These arms are worthless now to me,
                                       E
They let you go so how good could they be?
             A                        D
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.



E                                        D  A
 Reaching out to embrace a vacant memory,
E                                
 Finding just the empty space,
                         E  G
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.



A     E   A   D   A   E   D  A  
INSTRUMENTAL



E                                                   D  A
 Trying meekly to assist my struggle with the truth.
E                                               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.

Since these arms stopped holding you.
            A   E                A
Since these arms stopped holding you.
