Standard (EADGBE)

  Well I just heard the news today

  It seems my life is going to change

  I closed my eyes, begin to pray

  Then tears of joy stream down my face

  With arms wide open

  Under the sunlight

  Welcome to this place

  I'll show you everything

  With arms wide open

  With arms wide open

  Well I don't know if I'm ready

  To be the man I have to be

  I'll take a breath, I'll take her by my side

  We stand in awe, we've created life

  With arms wide open

  Under the sunlight

  Welcome to this place

  I'll show you everything

  With arms wide open

  Now everything has changed

  I'll show you love

  I'll show you everything

  With arms wide open

  With arms wide open

  I'll show you everything ...oh yeah

  With arms wide open..wide open

  If I had just one wish

  Only one demand

  I hope he's not like me

  I hope he understands

  That he can take this life

  And hold it by the hand

  And he can greet the world

  With arms wide open...

  With arms wide open

  Under the sunlight

  Welcome to this place

  I'll show you everything

  With arms wide open

  Now everything has changed

  I'll show you love

  I'll show you everything

  With arms wide open

  With arms wide open

  I'll show you everything..oh yeah

  With arms wide open....wide open
