CHer fingers feel so Fgentle with her Chand in mine
Her hair feels like A7silk on my D7armsG7  
Her Clips tell me so Fsweetly that she's Cmine alone
UnFtil we part toCnight and G7she goes Chome
Borrowed G7angel beFlongs to someone Celse
I D7love my borrowed angel I G7just can't help myself
That Cring on her Ffinger don't Cbelong to me
But she Floves me and I Cknow she'll save 
Some G7borrowed time for Cme
I wish that I could Fhave her more than Cjust tonight
We can't go on like A7this it isn't D7rightG7  
CWhen that lonesome Ffeeling comes Cknocking on my door
I'll Fcall my borrowed Cangel to G7ease the pain once Cmore
Repeat #2   
Yes she Floves me and I Cknow she'll save 
Some G7borrowed time for Cme
