    Intro:
    E


    Verse:
    E A C#m
    I sit and wait. Does an angel contemplate my fate.
    B E A C#m
    And do they know the places were we go when we're grey and old.
    B A C#m A
    Cuz I have been told that salvation lets their wings unfold.
    D
    So when I'm lying in my bed,
    A
    Thoughts running through my head,
    E
    And I feel that love is dead.
    D A E
    I'm loving angels instead.

    Chorus:
    B C#m
    And through it all she offers me protection,
    A E
    A lot love and affection, whether I'm right or wrong.
    B C#m
    And down the waterfall wherever it may take me,
    A
    I know that life won't break me.
    G#m F#m
    When I come to call, she won't forsake me.
    D A E
    I'm loving angels instead.

    Verse:
    E A C#m
    When I'm feeling weak and my pain walks down a one way street.
    B E A C#m
    I look above and I know I'll always be blessed with love.
    B D
    And as the feeling grows
    A
    she breathes flesh to my bones
    E
    And when love is dead,
    D A E
    I'm loving angels instead.
    Solo:

    Bm A E
    e|-------------------------------------------------------
    B|--9--7h9------------9--7h9------------9--7h9------0----
    G|-----------9-9/11------------9-9/11------------9-------
    D|-------------------------------------------------------
    A|-------------------------------------------------------
    E|-------------------------------------------------------


    This solo 4 times. The last note (the 0) can also be played as a B on the D string (a 9) you'll have to see for yourself what's best.
    You can even play the 11 on the G string as a 7 on the B string. You don't have to use the slide but it doesn't sound as good as the slide.

    Playing order:

    Verse one
    Chorus
    Verse two (drums enter)
    Chorus
    Solo
    Chorus

    The last note from the verse continues to the chorus until the B comes in. This last chord ( the E) is very nice if you play the lower strings so you get a very heavy sound.
