            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
[Verse]
(C)                 Dm               F
Spend all your time waiting for that second chance,
      C                F       G
for a break that would make it okay.
(G)                    Dm            F
There's always some reason to feel not good enough,
         C            F          G
and it's hard, at the end of the day.
(G)            Dm              F
I need some distraction, oh, a beautiful release.
    C        F            G
....memories seep from my veins.
(G)       Dm             F                          C         F       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                    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      G              C
You're in the arms of the angel, may you find.... some comfort here.

[Verse 2]
(F)             Dm                 F
So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn,
        C            F               G
there's vultures and thieves at your back.
(G)                Dm                F
The storm keeps on twisting. Keep on building the lies
         C                        G
that you make up for all that you lack.
(G)           Dm            F
Don't make no difference, escape one last time.
     C   F       G
It's easier to believe...
(G)           Dm                F
in this sweet madness, oh, this glorious sadness,
     C         F     G
that brings me to my knees.
[Chorus]
       C    Csus4  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 feel.
        C      Csus4    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 find.... some comfort here.
              F                          C       G             C
You're in the arms of the angel, may you find.... some comfort here.
