Angel
Sarah McLachlan
I wasn't going to put another version up, but the ones here aren't quite right,
and the one that is seems a little over-complicated.
Here's an easy version although it may not be exact or dead on for the fussy types.
** Capo - 1st fret if you want to play along with the song **
[Intro]
C  Csus4
C  Csus4
[Verse]
 C                 Dm             F
()                                
Spend all your time waiting for that second chance,
      C                Am      G
for a break that would make it okay.
 G                    Dm          F
()                                
There's always some reason to feel not good enough,
         C            Am         G
and it's hard, at the end of the day.
 G            Dm            F
()                          
I need some distraction, oh, a beautiful release.
    C        Am           G
....memories seep from my veins.
 G       Dm           F                         C        Am    G
()                                                             
Let me be empty, oh, and weightless and maybe, I'll find some peace tonight.
[Chorus]
       C    Csus4  C           Em
In the arms of the angel, fly away from here,
          F                              C      Am            G
from this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you feel.
        C      Csus4    C                 Em
You are pulled from the wreckage, of your silent reverie.
              F                          C   Am G              C
You're in the arms of the angel, may you find.... some comfort here.
F   C   F
[Verse 2]
 F             Dm               F
()                              
So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn,
        C            Am              G
there's vultures and thieves at your back.
 G                Dm              F
()                                
The storm keeps on twisting. Keep on building the lies
         C           Am           G
that you make up for all that you lack.
 G           Dm          F
()                       
Don't make no difference, escape one last time.
     C   Am      G
It's easier to believe...
 G           Dm              F
()                           
in this sweet madness, oh, this glorious sadness,
     C         Am    G
that brings me to my knees.
[Chorus]
       C    Csus4  C           Em
In the arms of the angel, fly away from here,
          F                              C      Am            G
from this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you feel.
        C      Csus4    C                 Em
You are pulled from the wreckage, of your silent reverie.
              F                          C   Am  G             C
You're in the arms of the angel, may you find.... some comfort here.
              F                          C   Am  G             C
You're in the arms of the angel, may you find.... some comfort here.
