With Arms Wide Open

Well (Csus2)I just heard

the (G)news today.

It (Am11)seems my life

is gonna change.

I (Csus2)close my eyes.

(G)begin to pray,

then (Am11)tears of joy

stream down my face.

With arms wide (F5)open.

under the (Csus2)sunlight,

welcome (E5)to this place.

I'll show you (Dsus2)ev'rything, with arms wide (C5)open,

(G)with arms wide (Am11)open.

(Am11)Well (Csus2)I don't know

if (G6)I'm ready

to (Am11)be the man

I have to be.

I'll (Csus2)take a breath,

I'll take her (G)by my side.

We (Am11)stand in awe;

we've created life.

With arms wide (F5)open,

under the (C5)sunlight,

welcome (E5)to this place.

I'll show you (D5)ev'rything with arms wide (F5)open.

Now (C5)ev'rything has changed I'll show you (E5)love,

I'll show you (D5)ev'rything with arms wide (Csus2)open,

(Am11)with arms wide open.

(Am11)I'll show you (Csus2)ev'rything,

oh yeah,

(G)with arms wide (Am11)open,

wide open.

(A5)If I had (C5)just one wish,

only (G)one demand,

I hope he's (Bb5)not like me,

I hope he (A5)understands

that he can (C5)take this life

and hold it (G)by the hand

and he can (Bb5)greet the world

with arms wide (A5)open.
