Verse: 1 
  Am                             Fmaj7 
I meet them in the truckstops, I meet them in the bars 
  G                                   F 
I meet them in the parking lots and I slip into their cars 
     Am                                  Fmaj7 
They come and put their money down, they come and place their bets 
  G                                F 
I swallow their indifference,but I choke on my regrets

Verse: 2 
    Am                              Fmaj7 
Sometimes they ask me questions sometimes they treat me nice 
G                                F 
You don't know what you'll get until you roll the dice 
         Am                      Fmaj7 
You're a loser or a winner here, predator or prey 
    G                                F 
I'm still not sure which one I am or how I got this way 

 
         F                C 
And it's hard to hear the angels 
G                 Am 
Over the diesels’ hum 
      F                      C 
But I know they're out there singing 
         G                     Dm 
And I'll know them when they come 
         F              C 
And I'll rise above the neon 
G                      Am 
Above this trailer park 
    G                                  F 
And fly like a truckstop angel with an arrow through my heart

Verse: 3 
          Am                            Fmaj7 
There's a big sky up above me there's a wasteland down below 
          G                                    F 
There's a long black snake of highway take you where you wanna go 
    Am                              Fmaj7 
One day I'm gonna leave here, gonna hit my lucky streak 
      G                                 F 
Gonna spread my gorgeous wings and fly above all this concrete 

 
         F                C 
And it's hard to hear the angels 
G                 Am 
Over the diesels’ hum 
      F                      C 
But I know they're out there singing 
         G                     Dm 
And I'll know them when they come 
         F              C 
And I'll rise above the neon 
G                      Am 
Above this trailer park 
    G                                  F 
And fly like a truckstop angel with an arrow through my heart
