You know I never can relax
I'm always stiff and tense

E
I gotta to sleep in your arms
D                              E
wrap me up in your hands
I'll finally feel calm
        B                E
And finally just relax

Lyrics

You know I never can relax
I'm always stiff and tense

I gotta to sleep in your arms
wrap me up in your hands
I'll finally feel calm
And finally just relax

you know the world is cold and hard
(I gotta to sleep in your arms)
you gotta keep each other warm
(I gotta to sleep in your arms)

I gotta to sleep in your arms
wrap me up in your hands
I'll finally feel calm
And finally just relax

You know i'm ok on my own
but i've been so long alone

I gotta to sleep in your arms
wrap me up in your hands
I'll finally feel calm
And finally just relax

you know the world is cold and hard
(I gotta to sleep in your arms)
let's dream walk hand in hand
(I gotta to sleep in your arms)

I gotta to sleep in your arms
wrap me up in your hands
I'll finally feel calm
And finally just relax
