"Open Arms" by Kristen Hall  1994


G               D                    Em
Its breaking my heart the way things are,

G         D                Em       D
Maybe its you who needs to change,

G          D                 Em     Em7
Maybe it's me who's gone too far,

C               D
Late last night I'm in my bed

    G       G/F#     Em        Em7
I'm playing back the words you said,

C                 D  
Take my heart and take my mind but

G         G/F#     Em      Em7
Don't you leave a trace behind,

C           D           Em
Do what you do best and go



G        D       Em
Too many times I turned away

G            D                  Em      D
Hoping you'd see through all my fears

G       D                 Em    Em7
So many things I meant to say

C           D 
If we try I have no doubt

     G        G/F#     Em          Em7
We'd have the means to work this out,

C             D     
Courage can erase the pain

   G       G/F#      Em       Em7
Of all the times we tried in vain

C              D        Em 
It's easier to turn and run

C              D 
It's easier to turn and...

(CHORUS)
G      C                D
Run to me when you feel lonely

G                    C        D  
Come to where you're safe and warm

G      C                D
Run to me when you need holding

                C      D             G     D   Em
There will be a place, in these open arms


G D Em (2 times)

C             D        
Even when you said we're through, well

G      G/F#    Em     Em7 ... etc
Deep inside I always knew
It's such a waste, it's such a shame
And no one but ourselves to blame
Now I know that all this must be
Some sick tribute to our trust
Baby, take a chance and...

(CHORUS)
