"Loving Arms"
The Bellfuries
from the LP "Workingman's Bellfuries"
[Intro]
F#m A
Cease-fire, soldier, lay the weapon at your feet
F#m A
Give up your arms to hold her and concede defeat
D Bm A
Ah ooh ooh ooh It's sweet surrender in your loving arms
[Verse]
A
These days love's light is a nuclear white
C#m G A
Your smile was an atom bomb
C#m A
Your kisses were the missiles, and they landed on my lips
E7 A
My resistance was a pittance up against your loving arms
A
From the dugout trenches where the wounded take retreat
C#m G A
I set off with my army, keen to kill
C#m A
We took our position, eyed the oncoming opposition
E7
Then hightailed it back into the hills
[Chorus]
F#m A
Cease-fire, soldier, lay the weapon at your feet
F#m A
Give up your arms to hold her and concede defeat
D Bm A
Ah ooh ooh ooh It's sweet surrender in your loving arms
[Verse]
A
Flank, charge, tank desant, surface to ai
C#m G A
Blitzkrieg, bait & bleed, chemical warfare
C#m A
Line 'em all up and watch 'em all fail
E7 A
Running on a rat wheel, chasing your tail
[Chorus]
F#m A
Cease-fire, soldier, lay the weapon at your feet
F#m A
Give up your arms to hold her and concede defeat
D Bm A
Ah ooh ooh ooh It's sweet surrender in your loving arms
