Background
I really liked the tabbed out version by Don Tango, but they didn't have the full
lyrics, and the layout of Largebehind's chord version. So I smashed them together,
made some tweaks to how I like playing it and voila! Full credit to those two for
inspiring me to make a Tab myself.
Happy to hear all feedback!

[Verse 1]

G Em7

Good arms, versus bad arms,

Cadd9 G Em7 Cadd9

Will win hands down, down

G Em7

They are built to hold and fit

Cadd9 G Em7 Cadd9

Look how far they go around

[Verse 2]

G Em7

You don't need these now that

Cadd9 G Em7 Cadd9

You've found another pair

G Em7

And the difference astounding,

Cadd9 G Em7 Cadd9

I should expect... Except

[Chorus 1]

G Em7 Cadd9 G

Leave the rest at arm's length

G Em7 Cadd9 G

Keep your naked flesh under your favourite dress

G Em7 Cadd9 G

And leave the rest at arm's length

G Em7 Cadd9 G Em7 Cadd9

When they reach out, don't touch them, don't touch them

G Em7 Cadd9

[Verse 3]

G Em7 Cadd9 G Em7 Cadd9

So I decided this decision some six months ago

G Em7 Cadd9 G Em7 Cadd9

So I'll stick to my guns, but from now on it's war

G Em7 Cadd9 G Em7 Cadd9

I am armed with the past, and the will, and a brick

G Em7 Cadd9 G Em7 Cadd9

I might not want you back, but I want to kill him

[Chorus 2]

G Em7 Cadd9 G

Leave the rest at arm's length

G Em7 Cadd9 G

Keep your naked flesh under your favourite dress

G Em7 Cadd9 G

And leave the rest at arm's length

G Em7 Cadd9 G

When they reach out, don't touch them, don't touch them

G Em7 Cadd9 G

Leave the rest at arm's length

G Em7 Cadd9 G

Don't brush with him, he might have diseases

G Em7 Cadd9 G

And leave the rest at arm's length

Em7

Steer clear of the grasp, girl

Cadd9 G

Run, run, away

G Em7 Cadd9 G

[Chorus 3]

G Em7 Cadd9 G

And leave the rest at arm's length

Em7 Cadd9 G

Just roll over boy and don't make me do this

G Em7 Cadd9 G

And leave the rest at arm's length

G Em7 Cadd9 G

I am armed to the teeth and I'm heavy set

G Em7 Cadd9 G

And leave the rest at arm's length

G Em7 Cadd9 G

I'm not ready to see you this happy

G Em7 Cadd9 G

And leave the rest at arm's length

G Em7 Cadd9 G

I'm still in love with you (can't admit it yet)

G Em7 Cadd9 G
