Intro: F C Dm C Bb C Dm C

Verse 1:

F C Dm C
I saw you standing on that bridge
Bb C Dm C
Right then I knew the life that I would like to live
F C Dm C
Your frizzy hair tangled my mind
Bb C Dm C
Right then I knew that I would love you for all time
F C Dm C
You ran your hand across the ledge
Bb C Dm C
Right then I felt that all my hunger had been fed
F C Dm C
You cracked a smile up towards the sky
Bb C Dm C
That thought alone will keep me happy for my life

Bb
But I ask now

Chorus:

Bb C F C Bb
How can angels fly when you're still on the ground
Bb C Dm F
Cause I've been searching my whole life for you to turn my life around
Bb C Dm
And now I don't know what to say because the pain won't go away
F Bb C F
And I've crying since the day that you took all my good away

Verse 2:

F C Dm C
I wish I had never walked away
Bb C Dm C
Cause if I knew you'd jump I'd dive into that bay
F C Dm C
And I would have saved you from the cold
Bb C Dm C
Cause when you took that leap you stole my heart and soul

Bb
So I ask now

Chorus:

Bb C F C Bb
How can angels fly when you're still on the ground
Bb C Dm F
Cause I've been searching my whole life for you to turn my life around
Bb C Dm
And now I don't know what to say because the pain won't go away
F Bb C F
And I've crying since the day that you took all my good away

Verse 3:

F C Dm C
Your mother said you're up above
Bb C Dm C
And all you wanted was a man for you to love
F C Dm C
Well I just started breaking down
Bb C Dm C Bb
Because the angel I'd been searching for had left me on the ground
C F
And now I'll die alone
