[VERSE I]
C                           Bm
 I could write the book of you
                     C
And illustrate the pages
              Am
You shouldn't read it
C                         Bm
 I'm the one that you put down
                       C
It was written in a hurry
                    Am
Slipped through your fingers

[CHORUS]
G                  C
 I do everything I should
              G
I still gotta learn
          C
How to be good
G                           C
 You got two strong arms, I see
                      G
Can't you bring them around
           C
Wrap them around me?
G   Em   Am

[VERSE II]
C                             Bm
 Layin' the storms down at your feet
                    C
Maybe you're better shelter
            Am
Maybe do my hard work for me
C                                      Bm
 Oh, I kick and scream, but the job is mine
                    C
So I'll stay by the ocean
                 Am
You got your own hills to climb, oh

[CHORUS]
G                  C
 I do everything I should
              G
I still gotta learn
          C
How to be good
G                                  C
 And I've got two strong arms, you see
                        G
I've got to bring them around
           C
Wrap them around me

F                C
 I know that I am full of holes
           F                           C
Still they let me see on through to the other side
F                           C
 And the Southern Cross has got you
      F      C
In her sights

I still gotta learn
          C
How to be good
G                           C
 You got two strong arms, I see
                  G
Gotta bring them around
                 C
Gotta wrap them around me
                G
Gotta wrap 'em around
                C
Gotta wrap 'em around me
                 G
Yeah, bring 'em around
                C
Yeah, wrap 'em around me
