[Intro] F#m Bm C#m F#m F#m Bm E F#m Bm C#m F#m F#m Bm E [Verse 1]
F#m          Bm
Breathe in deep

  C#m       F#m
I want you to

                 Bm         E
That's why the arm came for you

          F#m          Bm
Help you up, help you out

   C#m          F#m
To help you through

                 Bm         E
That's why the arm came for you
[Pre-Chorus]
    A
You faded into a different shade

                       D
A completely different hue

               A
Of a kind of blue
In a lifeless carcass, in a bad ass car crash
                                              D
Hopefully you'll wake up soon, hopefully you do

           A
I want you to
[Chorus]
B               D             F#m

  That's why the arm came for you
[Instrumental] F#m Bm C#m F#m F#m Bm E F#m Bm C#m F#m F#m Bm E [Verse 2]
             F#m         Bm
Now you'll see how it feels

   C#m          F#m
To live like a bee

                Bm             E
Always searching, for what's honey

          F#m           Bm
And the veins made some stains

          C#m              F#m
When they burst from your legs

            Bm         E
Your anxiety is a tapestry
[Solo] F#m C#7 F#m B D [Pre-Chorus]
           A
Now you'll swim until it's deep, until it feels like you're asleep

                                                       D
Against the sound of warning cries, which you don't hear

               A
I could not hear
In a lifeless carcass in a bad ass car crash, hopefully you wake up soon
               D
Hopefully you do

           A
I want you to
[Chorus]
B               D             F#m
That's why the arm came for you

D                               F#m
  That's why the arm came for you

D                               F#m Bm F#m Bm E F#m
  That's why the arm came for you
[Instrumental] F#m Bm C#m F#m F#m Bm E F#m Bm C#m F#m F#m Bm E [Verse 3]
      F#m      Bm         C#m      F#m
Don't go to sleep, don't want you to

                 Bm        E
That's why the arm came for you

          F#m      Bm      C#m      F#m
Need you to even if it's pointless to

             Bm      E
Let your arms carry you
[Instrumental] B [Outro]
       C#m          G#7
You're mine, you're mine

       C#m       A
You'll always be mine

E            G#7                    A
Lord knows I tried to keep you from leaving

E              B
  Maybe I'll try

       C#m          G#7
You're mine, you're mine

   C#m         A
Is that why I lied

     E             G#7
If I tell the truth

              A
You weren't breathing

E              B
  Maybe I'll try

F#m       B
    Girl I lie
