Cos you have the world in your arms tonight
And what if you held the world in your arms?
V2:
When you're secure, do you feel much safer?
As days never change, and it's three years later
It's like your life hasn't changed,
And it's three years late
So how does it feel, to be three years late?
And watching your youth drift away
What seems different, seems different today
And what seems different, seems different today
B:
Is consideration
More like an exception - of consideration?
Ch:
Cos you have the world in your arms tonight
And what if you held the world in your arms?
You have the world in your arms tonight
And what if you held the world in your arms?
(tonight...) (tonight...)
Solo (sort of)
Cos you have the world in your arms tonight
And what if you held the world in your arms?
Cos you have the world in your arms tonight
And what if you held the world in your arms?
Thats it. Enjoy.
