[Intro] G D Dsus4 D C G [Verse] G Well I’m in pretty good shape for the shape I’m in D Living in the shadows of all my sins C But hey, G we’ve all got our problems G And it’s been 21 hours since I’ve heard your voice D And Me, well I got no damn choice C In the matter, G yeah you know that’s true G Yeah leave it all up to you this time D The decision is yours baby, C it's not mine G Even though that’s hard G But the ink stain is still on my hand D And your number’s too worn off to understand C But I wear it, G like a battle scar [Chorus] C And I can’t tell, G about you and me D It’s a little bit too far down B7 C that old road of life to see G But I keep an eye out, D toward the sky B7 Thinkin' that maybe you C just might be passin’ by G D And how I wish, that you can hear, me sing B7 Maybe this time my songs C just might mean something [Bridge] Am C So fall on back down to me, Am C fall on back down to me Am Ah you’re still an angel, C G even with that broken wing G D Dsus4 D C G [Verse] G And I said I got enough gas to make it there D Tonight if you want, baby I don’t care C And you said no, no, G no, no, that’s ok G So instead I just sat here on this couch D And I drank it off, that’s what I’m all about C At least Lord, G that’s what the people say G Cuz we both know I'm just a lost cause D A wannabe poet with a cheap guitar, C G beggin' for applause G But I thought I'd be your knight in shinin' armor D And I'd save ya, hell or high water C But I won't reach out my G hand if you don’t want it No, no, no [Chorus] C And I can’t tell, G about you and me D It’s a little bit too far B7 C down that old road of life to see G But I keep an eye out, D toward the sky B7 Thinkin' that maybe you C just might be passin’ by G D And how I wish, that you can hear, me sing B7 Maybe this time my songs C just might mean something [Outro] Am C So fall on back down to me, Am C fall on back down to me Am C Ah you’re still an angel Am C Ah you’re still an angel Am C Ah you’re still an angel C G Well even with that broken wing
