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
              C
     Into my arms  (let ring....)
