Frightened Rabbit Good Arms vs. Bad Arms Lyrics

I apologise for the formatting of the tablature on here, Ultimate-Guitar
always have that messed up. I hope you can make sense of it!
This is quite a technical song in terms of hammers and pull offs,
so I'm going to do my best to simplify it, so that you can play it
and enjoy it rather than splitting hairs over the minutiae of technicality.
In the into, I will show the pattern that is played through the song.
However, in the verses, I will just mark the lyrics with the chords.
This way you can either choose to play the chord, or the picked pattern which it denotes.
Lastly, every time an Em is shown, it would be ideal if you walked
the bass up from the root G note, to F#, then leave it open for then Em.
Capo III
Intro:
|Repeat Ad Lib|
Repeat Section Twice: Then- Twice:
Verse 1:
Good arms, versus bad arms,
Will win hands down, down
They are built to hold and fit
Look how far they go around
Verse 2:
You don't need these now that
You've found another pair
And the difference astounding,
I should expect... Except
Chorus 1:
Leave the rest at arm's length
Keep your naked flesh under your favourite dress
And leave the rest at arm's length
When they reach out, don't touch them, don't touch them
Verse 3:
So I decided this decision some six months ago
So I'll stick to my guns, but from now on it's war
I am armed with the past, and the will, and a brick
I might not want you back, but I want to kill him
Chorus 2:
Leave the rest at arm's length
Keep your naked flesh under your favourite dress
And leave the rest at arm's length
When they reach out, don't touch them, don't touch them
Don't touch them
And leave the rest at arm's length
Don't brush with him, he might have diseases
And leave the rest at arm's length
Steer clear of the grasp, girl
Run, run, away
Link: Em, C, G
Interlude: Am7, C (Repeat Ad Lib)
Chorus 3:
And leave the rest at arm's length
Just roll over boy and don't make me do this
And leave the rest at arm's length
I am armed to the teeth and Im heavy set
And leave the rest at arm's length
I'm not ready to see you this happy
And leave the rest at arm's length
Im still in love with you (can't admit it yet)
Outro: G, C, G, C (Repeat Ad Lib)
