I believe in you and in our hearts we know the truth 
And I believe in love and the darker it gets, the more I do 
Try and fill us with your hate and we will shine a light 
And the days will become endless and never, and never turn to night 
And never, and never turn to night 
 
C   Em 
 
Chorus
G 
Then it's just too much 
  A 
I cannot get you close enough 
Em 
A hundred arms, a hundred years 
Em 
You can always find me here 
     G 
And, Lord, don't let me break this 
A 
Let me hold it lightly 
Em 
Give me arms to pray with 
Em 
Instead of ones that hold too tightly

We have no need to fight 
We raise our voices and let our hearts take flight 
Get higher than those planes can fly 
Where the stars do not take sides

Verse 3
  G 
I let him sleep and as he does 
   A 
My held breath fills the room with love 
Em 
Hurts in ways I can't describe 
         A 
My heart bends and breaks so many, many times 
       A                    Em 
And is born again with each sunrise 
       A                    G 
And is born again with each sunrise 
 
G A Em

Interlude
G                                A 
Funerals were held all over the city

The youth bleed in the square 
          G                                  A 
And women raged as old men fumbled and cried 
       Em 
"We're sorry, we thought you didn't care, oh." 
    G                           A 
And how does it feel now you've scratched that itch? 
Em 
How does it feel? 
    G                            A 
And pulled out all your stitches 
Em 
Hubris is a bitch 
          G  A            Em 
A hundred arms, a hundred years 
          G  A            Em 
A hundred arms, a hundred years 
 
Chorus
    G 
And then it's just too much

The streets, they still run with blood 
Em 
A hundred arms, a hundred years 
Em 
You can always find me here 
     G 
And, Lord, don't let me break this 
A 
Let me hold it lightly 
Em 
Give me arms to pray with 
Em 
Instead of ones that hold too tightly
