Angel Mine Chords

C   Am   Em   F   C   G   x2
 
   C                               Am
He searched for those wings that he knew
                      Em
that this angel should have at her back.
   F
And although he can't find them
  C
he really don't mind 
          G
because he knows they'll grow back. 
 
   C                               Am
And he reached for that halo that he knows
                     Em
that she had when she first caught his eye.
            F
Although his hand came back empty
     C
he's really not worried 
          G
because he knows it still shines. 
 
[Chorus]
 F                          G
   I can't promise that I'll grow those wings 
  C                   G    F
or keep this tarnished halo shined 
        F                 G
but I'll never betray your trust 
     C
angel mine.
 
   C                        Am
I search all the time on the ground 
               Em
for our shadows cast side by side.
 F                       C
Just to remind me that I haven't gone crazy
          G
that you exist and are mine
 
 
      C                        Am
And I know that your skin is as warm and as real  
       Em
as that smile in your eyes.
 F                                 C
But I  F  have to keep touching and smelling 
                G
and tasting for fear it's all lies. 
 
[Chorus]
 F                          G
   I can't promise that I'll grow those wings 
  C                   G    F
or keep this tarnished halo shined 
        F                 G
but I'll never betray your trust 
     C
angel mine.
 
 C                            Am
Last night I awoke from the deepest of sleeps
          Em
with your voice in my head.
            F
And I could tell by your breathing
     C
that you were still sleeping 
    G
I re-peated the words that you had said. 
 
[Chorus]
 F                          G
   I can't promise that I'll grow those wings 
  C                   G    F
or keep this tarnished halo shined 
        F                 G
but I'll never betray your trust 
     C
angel mine.
 
 F                          G
   I can't promise that I'll grow those wings 
  C                   G    F
or keep this tarnished halo shined 
        F                 G
but I'll never betray your trust 
     C
angel mine.
 
 
C   Am   Em   F   C   G  (repeat and fade)
