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