            Capo 1

[C] [Am] [Em] [F] [C] [G] twice


  [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]

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



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 
       [F]               [G] 
but I'll never betray your trust 
    [C] 
angel mine.

  [C]                      [Am]  
I search all the time on the ground 
              [Em] 
for our shadows cast side by side.
[F]                     [C]
Just to remind me that I haven't gone crazy
         [G]
that you exist and are mine

  
     [C]                      [Am]  
And I know that your skin is as warm and as real  
      [Em] 
as that smile in your eyes.
[F]                               [C]
But I [F] have to keep touching and smelling 
               [G]
and tasting for fear it's all lies. 

Chorus:
[F]                        [G]
   I can't promise that I'll grow those wings 
 [C]                 [G]  [F] 
or keep this tarnished halo shined 
       [F]               [G] 
but I'll never betray your trust 
    [C] 
angel mine.

[C]                          [Am]  
Last night I awoke from the deepest of sleeps
         [Em] 
with your voice in my head.
           [F] 
And I could tell by your breathing
    [C] 
that you were still sleeping 
   [G]
I re-peated the words that you had said. 

Chorus:
[F]                        [G]
   I can't promise that I'll grow those wings 
 [C]                 [G]  [F] 
or keep this tarnished halo shined 
       [F]               [G] 
but I'll never betray your trust 
    [C] 
angel mine.
 
[F]                        [G]
   I can't promise that I'll grow those wings 
 [C]                 [G]  [F] 
or keep this tarnished halo shined 
       [F]               [G] 
but I'll never betray your trust 
    [C] 
angel mine.
