[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
