Intro: D Gmaj7/B  (x2)   

                    Em7              G   
Spend all your time waiting for that second chance,   

        D                        A 
For the break that will make it okay.   

                    Em7            G 
There’s always some reason to feel not good enough,   

         D                      A  
And it’s hard at the end of the day.   

                Em7          G  
I need some distraction or a beautiful release,   

D                     A 
Memories seep from my veins.   

          Em7       G  
Let me be empty and weightless and maybe,   

     D                 A  
I’ll find some peace tonight.   




       D               D9   F#m   
In the arms of the angel fly away from here,   

          G                                   D              A   
From this dark, cold hotel room and the endlessness that you fear.   

        D                       D9       F#m   
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie,   

              G                          D    A            D      
You’re in the arms of the angel, may you find some comfort here.  
  

    

Repeat Intro D  Gmaj7/B  (x2)  
    

                Em7                       G   
So tired of the straight line and everywhere you turn,   

        D                            A  
There’s vultures and thieves at your back.   

                   Em7                   G   
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies,   

     D                        A  
That make up for all that you lack.   

                 Em7         G  
It don’t make no difference, escape one last time,   

     D             A  
It’s easier to believe.   

              Em7               G   
In this sweet madness, oh, this glorious sadness,   

     D               A   
That brings me to my knees.   


Chorus   
    

G                                        D    A             D  
You’re in the arms of the angel, may you find some comfort here.   


Ending:
