* 4-bar intro

* Verse 1 These arms that hang here by my side,
These arms that ache to open wide,
Useless arms, with nothing left to do.
Since these arms stopped holding you.

* Verse 2 These arms are worthless now to me.
They let you go, so how good could they be?
Just foolish arms for which I have no need,
A pair of arms that grew weak and set love free.

* Bridge Reaching out to embrace a vacant memory.
Finding just an empty space around what�s left of me.
Two arms that failed completely,
Arms both scarred so deeply
Keep paying love�s costs with each tragic sway.

* 16-bar break with guitar and violin solos

* Bridge 2 Trying meekly to assist my struggle with the truth,
Unable to resist what tears still make us view.
Two arms that failed completely,
Arms both scarred so deeply,
Keep paying love�s costs with each tragic sway.

* Repeat verse 1

* Repeat last line of verse 1 as coda
