Held In The Arms Of Your Words
Standard tuning
CAPO 7th Fret (Chords relative to CAPO)
Verses
D G D C
Chorus
D G D C
Outro
D G D C
On the oputro theres an electric guitar and all sorts of stuff but im pretty sure thats
playing the above chords, or variations of them
This light at the end of the day
When even the highways seem still
The map in my hands folded shut
There isn't one magical word
But a carnival of them instead
Like an old, silent cinema screen
And in this light you are framed classically
Just a painting that hangs in my head
That I know like the back of my hand
And with the sunset, the neon awakes
And the cold colours dance on your skin
Finally the modern makes sense to me
You're effortless, you know you are
And all I want to do
Is let you lead me off into the dusk
Our shadows kiss before we do
Right here in the dark
I revel in the calm before the storm
The garden is haunted by us
And every mistake that we've made
Is at peace cos it led us both here
The thought that just burns into me
Of you in the ink of the night
Is the breath-taking danger of you
You're effortless, you know you are
And all I want to do
Is let you lead me off into the dusk
Our shadows kiss before we do
Right here in the dark
I revel in the calm before the storm
This is life
This is all I want from life
It's the fervour and the tenderness combined.
In the dark, in the ever-falling dark,
We are anchorless adrift but barely notice

version 2
In 6/8 time I think. Each chord is played for two bars each (so strum 12 times each chord!)
I like to play this song without capo, and I personally prefer using bar chords in this
particular song.
INTRO: A Bm A G
(two bars each the whole way through the song!)
