  			     C           F  
They say I latched onto you 
                  C                  G 
Like you was the last train leaving town 
     C                 F 
But you just kept on moving boy 
         G 
Left me here to live you down 
F                G              C              F 
Mama said she'd send a wire and cried on the phone 
             C             F 
Said you'll always be my angel girl 
G 
Won't you come back home 

C           G        F          C 
If was an angel, I'd fly over Jordan 
C                 G             F     G 
Wouldn't need no Greyhound to save my soul 
C               F                   C             F 
Maybe that's a good thing, I'll be home before I know 
          C          F                G           C 
'Cause if I was an angel, I'd have a long way to go 
 
Got a job as a waitress  
In this God forsaken place 
Guess there's no choosing where you land 
When you fall grace 
I'm not sure what keeps me here, my shame or my fool pride 
Neither one can give me wings 
Or offer me a ride 
 
Chorus 
 
    F        G       F   C           C                 F 
Oh, tonight I'll be dreaming of the cracks in the sidewalk 
     C                 F       C           F        G    F 
The face through the window, back to the place I belong 
G   F 
Ooh 
 
Chorus 
 
F    C               F                   C             G 
Well maybe that's a good thing, I'll be home before I know 
      C        F                G            C 
And I was an angel, I'd have a long to way go 
 
C  F G C
