Andrew Peterson - Hold Up My Arms Chords

[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
