              Intro: D G D G  
 
           D 
You want commitment  
      G 
Take a look into these eyes  
                D 
They burn with a fire  
G 
Until the end of time  
          Bm 
I would do anything  
                   G 
I'd beg, I'd steal, I'd die  
           A             D 
To have you in these arms tonight  
 
G     D 
Baby I want you  
        G 
Like the roses want the rain  
          D 
You know I need you  
      G 
Like a poet needs the pain  
            Bm 
I would give anything  
                  G 
My blood, my love, my life  
           A             D 
If you were in these arms tonight  
D                                       
I'd hold you                             
   A                                      
I'd need you                              
Bm          G               D             
I'd get down on my knees for you          
        Bm            A                   
And make everything alright                
           G                                
If you were in these arms                    
D                                            
I'd love you                               
A                                         
I'd please you                            
Bm                   G                    
I'd tell you that I'd never leave you     
D           Bm              A             
And love you till the end of time         
           G                             
If you were in these arms tonight       
                D 
We stared at the sun  
             G 
And we made a promise  
              D                 G 
A promise this world would never blind us  
             Bm 
These are our words  
                  G 
Our words were our songs  
                 Bm 
Our songs are our prayers these prayers keep me strong  
           G 
And I still believe  
           A 
If you were in these arms  
 
Refrão 
 
    A 
Your clothes are still scattered all over our room  
    G 
This whole place still smells like your cheap perfume  
A 
Everything here reminds me of you  
G  
And there's nothing that I wouldn't do  
 
Solo: D A Bm G D A Bm A  
 
                  Bm 
And these were our words  
                    G 
They keep me strong, baby...  
 
Refrão 
 
           G                 D A Bm G 
If you were in these arms tonight  
           G                 D A Bm G 
If you were in these arms tonight  
           G                 D A Bm G 
If you were in these arms tonight  
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaby  
        G 
Like the roses need the rain  
          D 
Like the seasons need the change  
      G 
Like a poet needs the pain  
D       Bm              A 
I?ll be in these arms tonight
