Chords for Firmament - Joshua Lee Turner
[Verse 1]
So my heart did a Aback flip
I Eguess that's what they'd say
I hadn't G#7seen her since high school graduaC#mtionBm  
I brought my Aold hopes
She brEought her fiancé
And we G#7shared some inane conversC#mationBm  
[Chorus]
Just as Abeautiful, oh just as Echarming.
But loB7rd, what is this new dimenEsionE7  
She has the dAignity of a Elife not for me
F#7Plans that I needed a Bwrench in
I Aguess it goes to A#dimshow
Something a E/Byoung man oCdim7ught to C#mknow
ADngels are just Apeople toEo
[Verse 2]
In my dark Aages
When EI was the earth
And my G#7universe spun out C#maround
BmThey lined the Afirmament
These Eangels of mine
So G#7pretty, and so far from the gC#mroundBm  
[Chorus]
They're just as Abeautiful, oh just as Echarming
But B7lord, what is this new EdimensionE7  
They have the Adignity of a Elife not for me
F#7Plans that I needed a Bwrench in
And I Aguess it goes to A#dimshow
Something a E/Byoung man ought to C#mknow
AnDgels are just Apeople toEo
[Bridge]
And Bmoh, when I Asmashed out the Epedestal
F#mWhat a pleasant surpC#mrise
BmHere they all were, just Ahalf of the Eworld
F#7Only holy through my teenage B7eyes
[Chorus]
Just as beautifuAl, oh just as charmingE  
But lorB7d, what is this new diEmensionE7  
InconceivAable, that a Egirl could be more
F#7Than a foil for my romBantic pretensions
So I gAuess it goes to sA#dimhow
Something a E/Byoung man Cdim7ought to C#mknow
AnDgels are just Apeople toEo
[Outro]
And Anow I finally A#dimknow what I E/Bshould have long agC#mo
Thank goDd, they're just peAople, tEoo

Just as beautiful, oh just as charming.

Plans that I needed a wrench in

I guess it goes to show

Something a young man ought to know

Angels are just people too

[Verse 2]

In my dark ages

When I was the earth

And my universe spun out around

They lined the firmament

These angels of mine

So pretty, and so far from the ground
