VERSE 1:
D
Angel circlin' the heavens
A
thoughts drift by on silver clouds
a weathered crack deep in the sidewalk
A
from too much hustle, too much crowd
D
there's too much time left on my hands
G
there's too much heartache in my soul
D
there's too much hangin' round this pay-phone
A D
there's too much loss of self-control
G
and i guess your love is like nails
D
so you can crucify me
A
and lay down upon your rails
D
so you could locomotive over me
G
yeah you stone me when i stumble
D
and thorns are woven in your talk
and i come with you as always
A G
down the via dolorosa when i walk
G
i walk
VERSE 2:
D
my demons come around with the sundown
A
and they dance their circles in my head
and how they twirl your memory all around
A
and lay you down on burning beds
i pity you my saving angel
G
i wish i may, i wish i might
D
have you saved your last prayer for me
A D
wherever god has you tonight
(chorus)
