Into My Arms - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. C to Cmaj9 = 332010 to 320010 C to Cmaj7 = 332010 to 330010 [Intro] F C Cmaj9 C F C Cmaj9 C [Verse 1]
F                                     C   Cmaj9  C
I don't believe in an interventionist god

F                           C    Cmaj9  C
but I know darlin' that you do.

F                                    C       Cmaj9  C
But if I did, I would kneel down and ask him,

F                                C    Cmaj7
not to intervene when it came to you.

                                 F
Well not to touch a hair on your head,

                 Dm
leave you as you are

                           G
and if he felt he had to direct you

        Em              G
then direct you into my arms.
[Chorus]
G       Dm                    C     Cmaj7
Into my arms, O Lord. Into my arms, O Lord.

        Dm                    C     Cmaj7
Into my arms, O Lord. Into my arms.
[Verse 2]
F                                       C    Cmaj9  C
And I don't believe in the existence of angels

F                                      C    Cmaj9  C
but looking at you, I wonder if that's true.

F                                    C    Cmaj9  C
But if I did, I would summon them together

F                          C     Cmaj7
and ask them to watch over you.

                      F
To each burn a candle for you.

                              Dm
To make bright and clear your path

       G
and to walk like Christ in grace and love

    Em                G
and guide you into my arms.
[Chorus]
G       Dm                    C     Cmaj7
Into my arms, O Lord. Into my arms, O Lord.

        Dm                    C     Cmaj7
Into my arms, O Lord. Into my arms.
[Verse 3]
F                C    Cmaj9  C
But I believe in love

F                      C    Cmaj9  C
and I know that you do too.

F                             C    Cmaj9  C
And I believe in some kind of path

F                             C    Cmaj7
that we can walk down, me and you.

                     F
So keep your candles burning

                           Dm
make a journey bright and pure.

                     G
That you will keep returning,

       Em      G
always and evermore.
[Chorus]
G       Dm                    C     Cmaj7
Into my arms, O Lord. Into my arms, O Lord.

        Dm                    C     Cmaj7
Into my arms, O Lord. Into my arms.
