Capo on 1
Intro: C, G, Em, D  [x2]    
Our Csecrets, you hid so Emwell
A Gtime capsule the future will not finCd.
And in the Cbelly of a catacomb, a Emfuselage the future will not hideG  
Swallowed by his prideC.
Its like a Cmobile phone that Emcant phone home.
Its an Gendless ringing, and its a Csilent drone.
Its a Cpassenger, a messenger
A Emhectic and hysterical insideG  
They throw away our naCtions pride
And caution to the Cwind
Like Embank notes Gin the bCin.
Like Cbank notes Emin the Gbin. D  
So make Cangels in the snow, love a Glittle more
Live with no Emregrets, for everything you Ddo
Because although the Clights are onG, there is Emno one homDe.
And Ceverything you are, everyGthing you were, 
Everything youve Embeens not everything youll Dbe.
You tell me Im a Cgrain of sanGd in an Emhour glasDs
So throw me a Cland line, this is more like a Emland mine;
Just one crossed Gwire, youll blow the floor beneaCth our feet
And the houses of the Cmillion civilians 
EmPre-packed with indifference inGside.
They throw away our nCations pride 
And caution to the wCind
Like Embank notes Gin the bCin.
Like Cbank notes Emin the Gbin.D  
So make Cangels in the snow, love a Glittle more
Live with no Emregrets, for everything you Ddo
Because although the Clights are Gon, there is Emno one homeD.
And Ceverything you are, everyGthing you were, 
Everything youve Embeens not everything youll Dbe.
Were really all the Cstars that bursGt in the EmuniversDe
Of our alienation. 
Well Gwere such a Amlong Emway from homCe.
Lets Gdance in this AmuniEmverse unknCown.
So make Cangels in the snow, love a Glittle more
Live with no reEmgrets, for everything you Ddo
Because although the Clights are Gon, there is Emno one homDe.
And Ceverything you are, everytGhing you were, 
Everything youve Embeens not everything youll Dbe.
Were really all the Cstars that bursGt in the EmuniversDe
Of our alienCatioGn. [Em2x]D  
So make Cangels in the snow, love a Glittle more
Live with no Emregrets, for everything you Ddo
Because although the Clights are Gon, there is Emno one homDe.
And Ceverything you are, everGything you were, 
Everything youve Embeens not everything youll Dbe.
Were really all the sCtars that bursGt in the EmuniversDe
Of our alieCnation.
