Hank Locklin - These Arms You Push Away chords
Start Jamming...
[C#]
Every time my arms reach out, you push them away.
[F#] I'm a man and how much do you think a man [C#] can take?
Do you think you should accuse me and say [F#] I'm true?
When these arms you [C#] push away, [G#] oh, someone [C#] new.
I don't tell her I love her, all my love belongs to [G#m] you.
[C#] [F#] But at least when I meet someone, I have her to [C#] turn to.
[G#] [C#] [F#]
[C#] She holds me close and tells me things, I long to hear [F#] you say.
And when these [C#] arms reach for [A#m] her, [G#] she don't push [C#] them away.
Right [F#] or wrong, don't condemn me for [C#] being human.
There's a limit to what this man [G#] can take.
I'm [F#] not ashamed of the things I [C#] shouldn't do.
[F#] My loving arms [C#] you push away, [G#] still long to [C#] hold you.
[F#] These loving arms [C#] you push away, still [G#] long to [C#] hold you.
