[Intro] G C G C [Verse 1]
   G   C                   G            C
Oh girl, I'd be lying if I promised you

                  G             C
Every word I ever said was true

                          G C
But I can promise you this:

             G C                   G          C
I'm gonna fall--blown over like a ship at sea

                       G       C
By the howling sins of history

                      D  C
Oh, but don't you forget
[Chorus]
   Em          Bm
To hold up my arms

     Am            C
Like Moses in the desert

C            D       Bm
When the battle ran long

    C           G
And hold up my arms

       Am            C
We can go at this together

        D            G      C
When my arms aren't strong

        D           G      C
When my arms aren't strong
[Verse 2]
                G C                         G            C
I want you to know that I'm prouder than a peacock, babe

                            G            C
You light me up just like a birthday cake

                          G C
When you walk in the room

    G C                     G      C
And I, I just wanna make you proud

                             G  C
So, baby, when I let you down

                   D  C
What I need you to do
[Chorus]
   Em          Bm
Is hold up my arms

     Am            C
Like Moses in the desert

C           D        Bm
When the battle ran long

    C           G
And hold up my arms

       Am            C
We can go at this together

        D            G      C
When my arms aren't strong

        D           G      C
When my arms aren't strong
[Verse 3]
G   C                    G           C
Girl, I'd be lying if I promised you

                   G            C
Every word I ever said was true

                           G C
But I can promise you this:

          G    C                      G            C
I'll do my best to try and do my very best for you

                          G        C
That's the very best that I can do

                     D
It's the best I can give
[Chorus]
   Em          Bm
So hold up my arms

       C           Am
I said hold up my arms

     Am           C
Like Moses in the desert

C           D        Bm
When the battle ran long

    C           G
So hold up my arms

       Am            C
We can go at this together

        D            G      C
When my arms aren't strong

        D           G      C
When my arms aren't strong
[Outro] C G
