Arms Length chords

CAPO: 3rd Fret

INTRO: [C] [Am] [F] [G] (2x) [C]

Life is [Am]one big show [F]
But no one re[G]hearses [C]
Up when [Am]one crowd, you [F]blow
And that crowd disperses[G] [Gadd9] [G] [C]

So you're [Am]on your own [F]
With expenses to [G]cover [C]
Then your [Am]cover is blown [F]
When in comes no [G]lover [F]

[CHORUS]
Keep your [G]guard up and not [F]
Fist out [G]at arms length [F]
Kindness [G]is not weak[Am]ness
Meanness [G]is not stre[F]ngth
Not [G]strength
Weak[F]ness, not [G]strength [C]

Accele[Am]rate the wheel [F]
The years gather more [G]quickly[C]
Dream, il[Am]lusion and real [F]
And you're more and more prickly[G] [Gadd9] [G] [C]

With kids, the [Am]numbers grow higher[F]
In rotations per [G]minute [C]
So now you'll [Am]never retire [F]
But it's for them that you [G]spin it [F]

[CHORUS]
Keep your [G]guard up and not [F]
Fist out [G]at arms length [F]
Kindness [G]is not weak[Am]ness
Meanness [G]is not stre[F]ngth
Not [G]strength
Weak[F]ness, not [G]strength

INTERLUDE: [C] [Am] [F] [G] [C] [Am] [F] [G] [C]

A diamond's [Am]brittle and hard [F]
It can shine, it can [G]shatter [C]
And though we're [Am]far from the start [F]
You should know you still matter[G] [Gadd9] [G] [C]

God was [Am]lonely above [F]
So he made us to [G]dream through[C]
That's what [Am]I'm thinking of [F]
When I tell you I [G]love you [F]

[CHORUS]
Keep your [G]guard up and not [F]
Fist out [G]at arms length [F]
Kindness [G]is not weak[Am]ness
Meanness [G]is not stre[F]ngth
Not [G]strength
Weak[F]ness, not [G]strength [C]

INTERLUDE: [C] [Am] [F] [G] [C] [Am] [F] [G] [C]

Life is one big show[F]
No one re[G]hearses [C]
Up when [Am]one crowd, you blow[F]
And that crowd dis[G]perses
