Even The Darkness Has Arms chords by The Barr Brothers

Chords with lyrics

CAPO on 4

   G+G
I was holding my breath
     G+G
When the tightrope walker slipped into the moon glow
    A minorAm        G+G
Saying all my children, follow me
A minorAm         G+G
Maybe it's time to go.

      C majorC         G+G
You can be cruel when you're wise
      C majorC        G+G
You can be wise when you're blue
     C majorC  G+G
And baby, if I have
    D MajorD    G+G
Then I have for you

G+G               G+G
Bribing the jury to keep me in jail
    G+G         G+G
Singing tea for the tiller man
    A minorAm
And although I lie fantastically
   C majorC
This woman knows of my history
          G+G
It's a miracle i can see

      C majorC         G+G
You can be wrong when you're right
         C majorC    G+G
Even when you're right on cue
     C majorC  G+G
And if I die tonight
    D MajorD    G+G
Then I die for you

   G+G
All I know is they call me son
   G+G
Great grandson and grandson
   A minorAm        G+G
Great uncles and some relatives
   C majorC         G+G
That judge what I have done

       C majorC    G+G
Gonna make it right by you
       C majorC   G+G
Even if it's all I do
      C majorC   G+G
And if it's all I do
    D MajorD     G+G
Then I do it for you

G+G
People have raised a whole lotta hell
     G+G
About the water in the windmill
  A minorAm        G+G
And although I stab chaotically
  C majorC        G+G
It hurts no one but me

     C majorC      G+G
Even the darkness has arms
     C majorC     G+G
But they ain't got you
     C majorC   G+G
And baby, I have it
   D MajorD     G+G
And I have you, too

    C majorC      D MajorD
And the light in the window
  C majorC       G+G
To pass the night through
E minorEm    E minorEm
Maybe so uncertain
  C majorC     C majorC
But what can I do

      C majorC
Keeping it on
      D MajorD
Keeping it on
   C majorC   G+G
And I know I like it
  D MajorD       C majorC
But what does that prove
C majorC                     G+G
Sometimes I worry I don't know how to love you

 G+G
I bring to you with reverent hand
    G+G
All the books and the lullabies
     A minorAm           G+G
The kind woman that my passion wore
     C majorC          G+G
Like the shoreline wears the tides

     C majorC     G+G
Maybe the water went dry
      C majorC   G+G
Keeping an eye on you
      C majorC   G+G
And with an eye on you
     D MajorD    G+G
It could drown me too

G+G                G+G
People have raised a whole lotta hell
     G+G      G+G
About the water in the windmill
  A minorAm         G+G
And although I stab chaotically
 C majorC         G+G
I swore an oath on my history
    C majorC       G+G
It's a miracle i can see

     C majorC      G+G
Even the darkness has arms
     C majorC     G+G
But they ain't got you
     C majorC   G+G
And baby, I have it
   D MajorD     G+G
And I have you, too

    C majorC      D MajorD
And the light in the window
  C majorC       G+G
To pass the night through
E minorEm    E minorEm
Maybe so uncertain
  C majorC     C majorC
But what can I do

      C majorC
Keeping it on
      D MajorD
Keeping it on
   C majorC   G+G
And I know I like it
  D MajorD       C majorC
But what does that prove
C majorC                     G+G
