Intro: G C Em C
D
Saw my life this morning
G
Lying at the bottom of a drawer
D
All this stuff I'm saving
Em C G
God knows what this junk is for
Em Am
And whatever I believed in
D G
This is all I have to show
Em Am
What the hell were all the reasons?
C
For holding on for such dear life
C
Here's where I let go
G
I'm not running
C
I'm not hiding
G
I'm not reaching
D G
I'm just resting in the arms of the great wide open
C
Gonna pull my soul in
Em D/F# G
And I'm al - most home - Repeat Intro
D
And I saw you this morning
G
You were staring back at me
D
>From an ancient photograph
Em C G
Stuck between some letters and some keys
Em Am
And I was lost for a moment
D G
In the ache of old good-byes
Em Am
Sometimes all that we can know is
C -
There's no such thing as no regrets, and baby it's alright
Chorus
Solo - Em C D G Em C

I'm just resting in the arms of the great wide open

Gonna pull my soul in

And I'm al - most -
G
I'm not running now
C
I'm not hiding out
G
I'm not reaching here

I'm just resting in the arms of the great wide open
