Tom: C
D5
[Verse 1]
D5
I believe in you and in our hearts we know the truth
D5
I believe in love and the darker it gets, the more I do
D5
Try and fill us with your hate and we will shine a light
D5
And the days will become endless and never, and never turn to night
Bb5 G5
And never, and never turn to night
[Chorus]
F5 G5
Then it's just too much, I cannot get you close enough
D5
A hundred arms, a hundred years, you can always find me here
F5 G5
And lord, don't let me break this, let me hold you lightly
D5
Give me arms to pray with instead of ones that hold too tightly
[Verse 2]
D5
We have no need to fight
D5
We raise our voices and let our hearts take flight
D5
Get higher than those planes can fly
D5
Where the stars do not take sides
[Chorus]
F5 G5
Then it's just too much, I cannot get you close enough
D5
A hundred arms, a hundred years, you can always find me here
F5 G5
And lord, don't let me break this, let me hold you lightly
D5
Give me arms to pray with instead of ones that hold too tightly
[Chorus]
F5 G5
And then it's just too much, the streets, they still run with blood
D5
A hundred arms, a hundred years, you can always find me here
F5 G5
And lord, don't let me break this, let me hold you lightly
D5
Give me arms to pray with instead of ones that hold too tightly
[Verse 3]
Gsus2
I let him sleep, and as he does
F
My held breath fills the room with love
G
He hurts in ways I can't describe
D C
My heart bends and breaks so many, many times
B5 C
And is born again with each sunrise
D C
And is born again with each sunrise
[Instrumental interlude]
F5 G5 D5 x2
[Bridge]
F5 G5
Funerals were held all over the city
D5
For you to bleed into the square
F5 G5
The women raised as old men fumbled and cried
D5
Sorry, we thought you didn't care
F5 G5
And how does it feel now you can scratch that itch
D5
How does it feel?
F5 G5
Pulled out all your stitches
D5
Hubris is a bitch
[Refrain]
F G Dm
A hundred arms, a hundred years
F G Dm
A hundred arms, a hundred years
[Chorus]
F G
And then it's just too much, the streets, they still run with blood
D5
A hundred arms, a hundred years, you can always find me here
F G
And lord, don't let me break this, let me hold you lightly
D5
Give me arms to pray with instead of ones that hold too tightly
[Outro]
F G Dm x3
Oh, oh, oh
