    Am - F - G - Em (2x)

 

         Am          Dm                          G

    Oh  I,  I just died in your arms tonight,       

         Em                                            Am

    it must have been something you said,

              Dm                          G       - E   - Am ~

    I just died in your arms tonight.

 

    Am

1.        I keep looking for something I can't get,

F

    broken hearts they’re all around me,

          G                                               Em               - E

    and I don't see an easy way to get out of this.

           Am                                  

    Her diary sits by the bedside table

            F                    

    the curtains are closed, the cat's in the cradle,

      G                                                                          Em               - E  

    who would have thought that a boy like me could come to this,      oh.

 

Am           Dm                          G

  I,   I just died in your arms tonight,       

     Em                                            Am

it must have been something you said,

         Dm                           G      - E

I just died in your arms tonight,         oh.

Am           Dm                        G

  I,   I just died in your arms tonight,

     Em                                    Am     

it must've been some kind of kiss,           

     Dm                        G     - E                                                + F - Am

I should've walked away,          I should've walked away.

 

                  Am           

2. Is there any just cause for feeling like this ?

F

    On the surface I'm a name on a  list,

       G                                 Em                - E

    I try to be discreet, then blow it again.

          Am

    I've lost and found, it's my final mistake,

 

 

 

 

 

              F

    she's loving by proxy, no give and all take,

                 G                                                       Em            - E  

     'cause I've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times       oh.

 

Am           Dm                          G

  I,   I just died in your arms tonight,       

     Em                                            Am

it must have been something you said,

          Dm                          G      - E

I just died in your arms tonight,         oh.

Am           Dm                          G

  I,   I just died in your arms tonight,

     Em                                     Am    

it must've been some kind of kiss,           

     Dm                        G     - E                                              

I should've walked away,          I should've walked away.

 

F

    It was a long hot night ,

Dm

    she made it easy, she made it feel right,

F

    but now it's over, the moment has gone,

       E                                                                      Am

    I follwed my hands not my head, I know I was wrong.
