Verse 1
A                E 
Running head on 
                 A 
To things that knock me down 
           E 
Over again 
              A 
He picked me off the ground 
               C#m             F#m 
And I wasn't strong enough to fight 
             A               E 
Anymore, but in your arms tonight 
 
Chorus
 
 E                  A 
Hold me close and tight 
A              E 
In your arms tonight 
E               A 
In your arms tonight 
A               E 
In your arms tonight 
        A 
Oh, my love 
 
Verse 2
A              E 
God only knows 
                     A 
Why I don't just retreat 
 
'Stead of riding the rails 
E                                A 
Back to the place of my worst defeat 
 C#m                                F#m 
'Cause I'm not fooling anyone, not quite 
    A 
Convincing you 
A                              E 
But when your arms are in mine 
 
Chorus
E               A 
Try not to be strong 
A                   E 
Cry till it's all gone 
E               A 
If you hold me tight 
A               E 
In your arms tonight 
        A 
Oh, my love 
 
Bridge
G#m 
For years you've seen in me 
A 
The one who'd be there for you 
B                           A 
The way I need you, here tonight 
B        A 
Yeah, yeah 
 
Chorus
A                E 
In your arms tonight 
E               A 
In your arms tonight 
E               A 
In your arms tonight 
A                  E          A 
Oh, in your arms tonight, my love
