INTO MY ARMS Nick Cave
Originally performed on piano
Intro:F C F C
F C
I don't believe in an interventionist God
F C
But I know darling that you do
F C
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
F C
Not to intervene when it came to you
F
Not to touch a hair on your head
Dm
To leave you as you are
G
And if He felt He had to direct you
Em G
Then direct you into my arms
Chorus
Dm
Into my arms O Lord
C
Into my arms O Lord
Dm
Into my arms O Lord
C
Into my arms
F C
And I don't believe in the existence of Angels
F C
But looking at you I wonder if that's true
F C
But if I did I would summon them together
F C
And ask them to watch over you
F
To each burn a candle for you
Dm
To make bright and clear your path
G
And to walk like Christ in grace and love
Em G
And guide you into my arms
Chorus
Dm
Into my arms O Lord
C
Into my arms O Lord
Dm
Into my arms O Lord
C
Into my arms
F C
But I believe in Love
F C
And I know that you do too
F C
And I believe in some kind of path
F C
That we can walk down me and you
F
So keep your candles burning
Dm
And make her journey bright and pure
G
That she will keep returning
Em G
Always and evermore
Chorus
Dm
Into my arms O Lord
C
Into my arms O Lord
Dm
Into my arms O Lord

Into my arms (let ring....)
