ANGEL - Sarah McLachlan 		       chords by JoAnn Chee (me!)
From the Album - Surfacing                

This arrangement has been transposed a semi-tone down (which makes it 
heck easier for me to sing).  Put a # on everything to play along with Sarah.  :)

VERSE 1
		         Dm			F
Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
      C		                G
for a break that would make it okay
there's always one reason to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction, oh beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins
let me be empty and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

CHORUS
       C
In the arms of an angel
     Em
fly away from here
	     F
from this dark cold hotel room
	   C		              G
and the endlessness that you fear
	   C
you are pulled from the wreckage
	   Em
of your silent reverie
	         F
you're in the arms of the angel
	   C  G		     C
may you find some comfort here

VERSE 2
So tired of the straight line and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
and the storm keeps on twisting you keep on building the lie
that you make up for all that you lack
it don't make no difference escaping one last time
it's easier to believe 
in this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness 
that brings me to my knees

CHORUS
In the arms of the angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here

you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here



[This song kicks ass.]
