1st verse

    G+G
Use the truth as a weapon
  G/EG/E
To beat up all your friends
   G+G
Every chink in the armor
   G/EG/E
An excuse to cause offense
     D MajorD
And the boys from the hallways
      E minorEm
Calling out your name
     C majorC
and true love
         G+G
Will find them in the end


Pre-Chorus

C majorC      G+G
  You were restless
   D MajorD       E minorEm
I was somewhere less secure
C majorC       G+G       D MajorD
  So I went running to the road
C majorC       G+G     D MajorD          E minorEm
  and so now that this long list of places I was
C majorC       G+G       D MajorD
   I quit my rambling and I came home

Chorus

      C majorC   G+G    C majorC         E minorEm
Cause maybe I was born to hold you in these arms
   C majorC   G+G    C majorC         E minorEm
Maybe I was born to hold you in these arms

2nd verse

     G+G
Use your saints and your mantra
    G/EG/E
And you things that keep you calm
    G+G
If you stay with that asshole
    G/EG/E
He? gonna do you harm

Pre-Chorus

    D MajorD              E minorEm
There's a voice calling loudly on the radio - just for you
     C majorC            G+G
and good fortune will find him in the end


Chorus

   C majorC   G+G    C majorC         E minorEm
Maybe I was born to hold you in these arms
   C majorC   G+G    C majorC         E minorEm
Maybe I was born to hold you in these arms
   C majorC   G+G    C majorC         E minorEm
Maybe I was born to hold you in these arms
   C majorC   G+G    C majorC         E minorEm
Maybe I was born to hold you in these arms
