♫ Verse 1:
 C majorC         G+G      A minorAm      E MajorE
I tried to write a song about a man with no arms
FF       G+G          C majorC
All he had to give me was his name
C majorC       G+G     A minorAm         E MajorE
Unfortunately I couldn’t speak his native tongue
  FF         G+G         C majorC
And so we shared some silence in the rain

♫ Pre-Chorus:
E MajorE      A minorAm       G+G      C majorC
If I give him money will his arms grow back?
     E MajorE         A minorAm       G+G
Will my well-intentioned rambling ease the slack?
    FF      A minorAm   G+G    C majorC          G+G
And if I promise to pray day after day will his pain go away?

♫ Chorus:
  FF     C majorC       G+G
Yeah, seriously what can I say?
FF     C majorC     G+G
Honestly, what can I sing?
   A minorAm      FF    C majorC  G+G
When morning after morning Oslo waits in the rain

C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G FF G+G

♫ Verse 2:
   C majorC          G+G         A minorAm        E MajorE
Yeah so I thought up some lines that seemed insightful and strong
    FF     G+G       C majorC
Yes, the wit is dripping from my lips
  C majorC        G+G     A minorAm      E MajorE
But damned if I can’t manage to overcome advantage
  FF        G+G       C majorC
My pride is swaying narcissistic hips

♫ Pre-Chorus:
E MajorE      A minorAm       G+G      C majorC
If I give him money will his arms grow back?
     E MajorE         A minorAm       G+G
Will my well-intentioned rambling ease the slack?
    FF      A minorAm   G+G    C majorC          G+G
And if I promise to pray day after day will his pain go away?

♫ Chorus:
  FF     C majorC       G+G
Yeah, seriously what can I say?
FF     C majorC     G+G
Honestly, what can I sing?
   A minorAm      FF    C majorC  G+G
When morning after morning Oslo waits
   A minorAm      FF    C majorC  G+G
When morning after morning Oslo waits
   E MajorE      FF    G+G
When morning after morning Oslo waits in the rain

C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G FF G+G

  C majorC       G+G        A minorAm         E MajorE      FF F minorFm
Yes Oslo, as things go, you've been dealt a crippling blow, I know

   C majorC    FF    A minorAm    G+G
So Be warm, be safe, be full of grace
  C majorC    FF    A minorAm    G+G
Be warm, be safe, be full of grace
  C majorC    FF    A minorAm    G+G
Be warm, be safe, be full of grace
   C majorC    FF    A minorAm    G+G
So Be warm, be safe, be full of grace
  C majorC    FF    A minorAm    G+G
Be warm, be safe, be full of grace
  C majorC    FF    A minorAm    G+G
Be warm, be safe, be full of grace
