Dwight Yoakam - These Arms Chords

[Intro]
A  E  A
 
 
[Verse 1]
      A
These arms that hang here by my side,
                             E
These arms that ache to open wide,
        A                          D
Useless arms, with nothing left to do,
            A     E               A
Since these arms, stopped holding you
 
 
[Verse 2]
      A
These arms are worthless now to me,
                                       E
They let you go so how good could they be?
             A                        D
Just foolish arms for which I have no need,
          A              E
A pair of arms that grew weak and set love
E               D  A  E
free
 
 
[Chorus]
E                                    D  A  E
Reaching out to embrace a vacant memory,
E
Finding just the empty space, around what's
                E  G  A
left of me
A
Two arms that failed completely,
D
Arms both scarred so deeply,
B7                                      E
Keep paying loves cost with each tragic sway
 
 
[Instrumental]
A  E  A  D  A  E  D  A
 
 
[Chorus]
E
Trying meekly to assess my struggle with the
              D  A  E
truth
E
Unable to resist what tears still make us
             E  G  A
view
A
Two arms that failed completely,
D
Arms both scarred so deeply,
B7
Keeps paying loves cost with each tragic
E
sway
      A
These arms that hang here by my side
                             E
These arms that ache to open wide
        A                         D
Useless arms with nothing left to do
            A     E               A     D
Since these arms, stopped holding you
            A     E                     A  A
Since these arms, stopped holding you
