Verse 1 
D5                                                   C5 
I don?t believe in an interventionist god 
D5                                          C5 
But I know, darling, that you do 
D5                                                      C5 
And if I did I would kneel down and ask him 
D5                                               C5 
Not to intervene when it came to you 
 
Bridge 
C5 D5 
Well, not to touch a hair on your head, leave you as you are 
                                  G5                   A5 G5 
If he felt he had to direct you then direct you into my arms

Verse 2 - same as 1st 
And I don?t believe in the existence of angels 
But looking at you, I wonder if that?s true 
But if I did, I would summon them together 
And ask them to watch over you 
 
C5 D5 
Well to each burn a candle for you, make bright and clear your path 
             G5 A5                        G5 
And to walk like Christ in grace and love and guide you into my arms 
 
Into my arms, oh lord 
Into my arms 
Into my arms, oh lord 
Into my arms 
 
V3 
But I believe in love 
And I know that you do, too 
And I believe in some kind of path 
That we can walk down, me and you 
 
So keep your candles burning, make the journey bright and pure 
That she?ll keep returning, always and evermore 
 
Into my arms, oh lord 
Into my arms 
Into my arms, oh lord 
Into my arms
