                    Am               Em 
spend all your time waiting for that second chance 
      G                C       D 
for a break that would make it ok 
                    Am             Em 
there's always some reason to feel not good enough 
         G           C          D 
and it's hard at the end of the day 
            Am              C 
i need some distraction, oh beautiful relief 
G                        D 
memories seep through my veins 
            Am        C 
that may be empty, oh weightless and maybe 
     G         Am    D 
i'll find some peace tonight 


Chorus: 
       G 
in the arms of the angel 
      Bm 
fly away from here 
          C 
from this dark cold hotel room 
        G                    D 
and the endlessness that you feel 
        G 
you are pulled from the wreckage 
        Bm 
of your silent reverie 
              Am   F      C 
you're in the arms of the angel 
        G    D              G 
may you fi-ind some comfort here 

                Am              Em 
so tired of the straight lines, everywhere you turn 
       G            C               D 
there' vultures and thieves at your back 
                   Am                Em 
the storm keeps on twisting, keep on building the lies 
         G           C            D 
that you make up for all that you lack 
                 Am          C 
it don't make no difference, escape one last time 
     G         D 
it's easier to believe 
              Am               C 
in this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness 
G         Am    D 
brings me to my knees 


Chorus: 
       G 
in the arms of the angel 
      Bm 
fly away from here 
          C 
from this dark cold hotel room 
        G                    D 
and the endlessness that you feel 
        G 
you are pulled from the wreckage 
        Bm 
of your silent reverie 
              Am   F      C 
you're in the arms of the angel 
        G    D              G            Bm 
may you fi-ind some comfort here 
              Am   F      C 
you're in the arms of the angel 
        G    D              G 
may you fi-ind some comfort here
