(Verse) 
A             A/G#                     D          
What if everything you always took for granted was gone 
A                  C#m              D              D/C# 
And everything you ever thought was right was wrong 
Bm             Bm/A                E7(add11) 
What if everyone you ever loved was torn 
        C#m           D 
From the pages of your life 
          E                         F#m    E7/G#     A    
Would you reach out for tomorrow or try to turn back time 
 
(Chorus) 
G          Bm 
These open arms 
      A 
Will wait for you 
G          Bm 
These open arms 
    A 
Can pull us through 
  Em           D         A 
Between what's left and left to do 
           G    Bm 
These open arms 
           A    F#m 
These open arms 
           G    
These open arms 
     A            A7sus/D   D    A7sus/D    D 
Will wait for you 
 
 
(Verse) 
A              A/G#                         D 
Did you really love the ones you said you'd love 
              A                       C#m                    D           D/C# 
That's right ? did you make a damn of difference in somebody else's life? 
Bm                       Bm/A                    E7(add11) 
Is there someone you can count on when you need a friend? 
          F#m   E7/G#    A 
Can't you see I need a friend? 
 
(Chorus) 
G          Bm

These open arms 
           G    
These open arms 
     A        D 
Will wait for you 
 
(Bridge) 
        C                           F 
Can you live in your skin? Walk in your own shoes? 
C                F 
Can't win if you don't know how to lose 
C            F 
Crawl, fall, try  
                      E  
You're gonna learn to fly 
 
(Chorus) 
G          Bm 
These open arms 
      A 
Will wait for you 
G          Bm 
These open arms 
    A 
Can pull us through 
  Em           D         A 
Between what's left and left to do 
           G    Bm 
These open arms 
           A    F#m 
These open arms 
           G    Bm 
These open arms

These open arms
