CAPO III

G      320033
Em7    022033
Cadd9  032033
G/F#   200033

Verse 1:
G                 Em7
Good arms, versus bad arms, 
     Cadd9     G         (G/F#  Cadd9)
Will win hands down, down
G                          Em7
They are built to hold and fit 
         Cadd9       G         (G/F#  Cadd9)
Look how far they go around

Verse 2: 
G                    Em7
You don't need these now that 
       Cadd9         G      (G/F#  Cadd9)
You've found another pair
G                  Em7
And the difference astounding, 
Cadd9    G           (G/F#  Cadd9)         
I should expect... Except

Chorus 1: 
G         Em7     Cadd9        G
Leave the rest at arm's length
G                     Em         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    (G/F#  Cadd9)
When they reach out, don't touch them, don't touch them

G, G/F#, Cadd9

Verse 3: 
G                 Em7               Cadd9    G       (G/F#  Cadd9)
So I decided this decision some six months ago
G                   Em7            Cadd9       G   (G/F#  Cadd9)
So I'll stick to my guns, but from now on it's war
G                   Em7           Cadd9           G   (G/F#  Cadd9)
I am armed with the past, and the will, and a brick
G                    Em7         Cadd9        G   (G/F#  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) x 2


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)


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!
