Tom: A
A D A
I thought to devise me a better life
D A E
But the world caught up and captured me
A D A
So I took my lies and my wasted time
D A E A
And I sat them out for all to see
[Chorus]
D
I need the lovers' arms
A E
Strong, in a story that's untold
F#m E
We got barrels in our bones and we're afraid to fire
D A E
And all, all of this time, we keep falling forward
D E A
And still you won't let go
[Verse 2]
A D A
I can't roll up time, but if I could I'd find
D A E
A couple things I'd rather not ever see again
A D A
But I've got hope that climbs up the highest heights
D A E A
And looks down on me with anticipated grins
[Chorus]
D
I need the lovers' arms
A E
Strong, in a story that's untold
F#m E
We got barrels in our bones and we're afraid to fire
D A E
And all, all of this time, we keep falling forward
D E A
And still you won't let go
[Verse 3]
A D A
If I reach an age when my thoughts don't change
D A E
Would you gather up my crippled melody
A D A
Cause I'd rather die than be a parasite
D A E A
That judges over others and over me
[Chorus]
D
I need the lovers' arms
A E
Strong, in a story that's untold
F#m E
We got barrels in our bones and we're afraid to fire
D A E
And all, all of this time, we keep falling forward
D E A
And still you won't let go
