C Am E

F C G

Verse 1:

C am

He searched for those wings that he knew

Em

that this angel should have at her back

F

And although he can't find them

C

he really don't mind

G

because he knows they'll grow back

C Am

And he reached for that halo that he knows

Em

that she had when she first caught his eye

F

Although his hand came back empty

C

he's really not worried

G

because he knows it still shines

Chorus:

F G

I can't promise that I'll grow those wings

C G F

Or keep this tarnished halo shined

G

But I'll never betray your trust

C

Angel mine

Verse 2 (Same chords)

I search all the time on the ground

for our shadows cast side by side

Just to remind me that I haven't gone crazy

that you exist and are mine

And I know that your skin is as warm and as real

as that smile in your eyes

But I have to keep touching and smelling

and tasting for fear it's all lies

Chorus

Verse 3 (Same chords, but strum only once)

Last night I awoke from the deepest of sleeps

with your voice in my head

And I could tell by your breathing

that you were still sleeping

I repeated the words that you had said

(some downstrokes on G, starting quietly, and crescendoing)
