When you came to me with your bad dreams and your fears
C D7 G D D7
It was easy to see that you'd been crying

Seems like everywhere you turn catastrophe it reigns

But who really profits from the dying

I could hold you in my arms

I could hold you forever

[Verse]
G Bm Em C
When you kissed my lips with my mouth so full of questions
C D7 G D D7
It's my worried mind that you quiet
G Bm Em C
Place your hands on my face close my eyes and say
C D7 G D D7
Love is a poor man's food don't prophesize

I could hold you in my arms

So now we see how it is this fist begets the spear
C D7 G D D7
Weapons of war symptoms of madness
G Bm Em C
Don't let your eyes refuse to see don't let your ears refuse to hear
C D7 G D D7
Or you ain't never going to shake this sense of sadness
[Chorus]
Em G C F C
I could hold you in my arms
D D7 D G D D7
I could hold on forever
G Bm Em F C
I could hold you in my arms
D D7 D G D D7
I could hold on forever

Hey, just have a little lyrics correction that I've seen more than once. At the end of the second verse, it should be "love is a poor man's food with no proper side." Other than that, this is a pretty spot-on tab. Good job!
