Verse 1:
 
G              Em 
Good arms, versus bad arms,  
C                Em     G 
Will win hands down, down 
G             Em 
They are built to hold and fit  
C            Em           G 
Look how far they go around 

Verse 2:
  
G                         Em 
You don't need these now that  
C        Em          G 
You've found another pair 
G                    Em 
And the difference astounding,  
C            G        Em 
I should expect... Except 

Chorus 1:
  
    G         C          G     C 
Leave the rest at arm's length 
                      Em                       G 
Keep your naked flesh under your favourite dress 
    G         C          G     C 
And leave the rest at arm's length 
                     Em                              G 
When they reach out, don't touch them, don't touch them 

Verse 3:
  
G                Em                 G           (Em  C, G) 
So I decided this decision some six months ago 
G                         Em                     G   (Em  C, G) 
So I'll stick to my guns, but from now on it's war 
G                      Em           C             G   (Em  C, G) 
I am armed with the past, and the will, and a brick 
G                      Em           C             G   (Em  C, G) 
I might not want you back, but I want to kill him 

Chorus 2:  
    G         C          G     C 
Leave the rest at arm's length 
                      Em                        G 
Keep your naked flesh under your favourite dress 
    G         C          G     C 
And leave the rest at arm's length 
                     Em                              G 
When they reach out, don't touch them, don't touch them 
C 
Don't touch them 
    G         C          G     C 
And leave the rest at arm's length 
                          Em         G 
Don't brush with him, he might have diseases 
    G         C          G     C 
And leave the rest at arm's length 
                      Em 
Steer clear of the grasp, girl 
G       C 
Run, run, away

Chorus 3:
 
    G         C          G     C 
And leave the rest at arm's length 
G                          Em 
Just roll over boy and don't make me do this 
    G         C          G     C 
And leave the rest at arm's length 
                    Em                 G 
I am armed to the teeth and Im heavy set 
    G         C          G     C 
And leave the rest at arm's length 
                   Em               G 
I'm not ready to see you this happy 
    G         C          G     C 
And leave the rest at arm's length 
                   Em              G 
Im still in love with you (can't admit it yet)
