Arms of an angel (Listen to sample)

C - F - C - F

Dm

1. Spend all your time waiting for that second chance,

C F G

for the break that will make it ok,

Dm

there's always some reason to feel “not good enough”,

C F G

and it's hard at the end of the day.

Dm F

I need some distraction, oh beautiful release,

C Am G

memories seep from my veins,

Dm F

and may be empty and weightless, and maybe

C G

I'll find some peace tonight.

C F C Em

In the arms of the angel, fly away from here,

F C G

from this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear.

C Em

You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie,

F C - G C

you're in the arms of the angel, may you fi….nd some comfort here.

+ F - C - F

Dm

2. So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn,

C F G

there's vultures and thieves at your back.

Dm

The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies,

C F G

that you make up for all that you lack.

Dm F

It don't make no difference, escaping one last time,

C - Am G

it's easier to believe

Dm F

in this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness

C G

that brings me to my knees.

C F C Em

In the arms of the angel, fly away from here,

F C G

from this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear.

C Em

You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie,

F C - G C

you're in the arms of the angel, may you fi….nd some comfort here.

F C - G C

You're in the arms of the angel, may you fi….nd some comfort here.

- F - C - F - C - F - C
