From the album 'Swimmin' Pools , Movie Stars'... [Intro] A E A [Verse 1]
         A                         
Oh these arms that hang here by my side,

           A                      A7
Yeah these arms that ache to open wide.

            D                         A
Are useless arms with nothing left to do,

            A   E                A
Since these arms stopped holding you.
[Verse 2]
         A
Oh these arms are worthless now to me,

             A                             A7
They let you go so how good could they be?

             D                        A
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.
[Chorus]
E                                        D  A
 Reaching out to embrace a vacant memory,

E                                                       G                                
 Finding just the empty space, 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.
[Instrumental] A A7 D A E A D A [Chorus]
E                                                   D  A
 Trying meekly to assist my struggle with the truth.

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.
[Verse 3]
            A
Wo-oh these arms that hang here by my side,

A                                     A7
Woah these arms that ache to open wide.

            D                         A
Two useless arms with nothing left to do,

A               E                A   D
Since these arms stopped holding you.

            A   E                A      E7    A
Since these arms stopped holding you.
