          E                      Esus4
You want commitment, well take a look into these eyes
                E     Esus4
They burn with fire, until the end of time
                 C#m                                A
And I would give anything, I'd beg, I'd steal, I'd die
               Bsus4         E   Esus4
To have you in these arms tonight

        E                  Esus4
Baby I want you, like the roses want the rain
            E                Esus4
You know I need you, Like the poet needs the pain
                 C#m                              A
And I would give anything, my blood, my love, my life
            B
If you were in these arms tonight

Chorus:
E             B
I'd Hold you, I'd need you
C#m          A                E
I'd get down on my knees for you
         C#m           B
And make everything alright
                 A
If you were in these arms
E             B
I'd love you, I'd please you
C#m                    A
I'd tell you that I'd never leave you
E                             Bsus4
And love you till the end of time
            A                E   Esus4
If you were in these arms tonight

                   E                   Esus4
We'd stare at the sun, and we made a promise
                E                  Esus4
A promise this world, would never blind us
                C#m                       A
And these were our words, our words were our songs
                   C#m
Our songs are our prayers, these prayers keep me strong
               A                B
And I still believe if you were in these arms

Chorus

       B
Your clothes are still scattered all over our room
       A
This whole place still smells like your cheap perfume
B
Everything here reminds me of you
         A
There's nothing I wouldn't do

A                   B
And these were our words,
they keep me strong, baby

Chorus:
I'd hold you, I'd need you
I'd get down on my knees for you
And make everything alright
If you were in these arms
I'd love you
I'd please you
I'd tell you that I'd never leave you
And love you until the end of time
If you were in these arms tonight

If you were in these arms tonight
If you were in these arms tonight
If you were in these arms
Baby
Like the roses need the rain
Like the seasons need to change
Like a poet needs the pain
I need you
In these arms tonight
If you were in these arms tonight
