~~~Verse GCadd9 You sounded so good on the phone G All moved up and all moved on Dsus Me and gravity we never could agree GCadd9 I can almost see the sky G When I need to close my eyes Dsus You're the only thing that's worth holding on to
~~~Chorus GDsus Angel you sing about beautiful things Em7Cadd9 And all I want to do is believe GDsus I traded my dreams for this mess of memories Em7Cadd9 And they just stopped working for me
~~~Interlude (see bottom)
~~~Verse GCadd9 I'm not a monster I believe G Like a liar would believe Dsus Helps me navigate the wooden smiles, the raging sea GCadd9 All my heroes pull their heads G Like a fighter would I guess Dsus No one really ever likes getting older
~~~Chorus GDsus Angel you sing about beautiful things Em7Cadd9 And all I want to do is believe GDsus I traded my dreams for this mess of memories Em7Cadd9 And they just stopped working for me
~~~Interlude (see bottom)
This is the interlude after the chorus. Shift the basic structure of the C chord up two frets and use the index finger to hold the b and e strings on 3.
Note that during the verse, the song sounds fine with either the Dsus or a Cadd9. I've the song with either chord and no one notices anything wrong with the music. I'm not sure which one is correct, if anyone can point me in the right direction, my email is [email protected]
Also, if you are a beginner or don't know too many chords, these chords aren't too hard. Just play the standard chord and keep your ring and pinky fingers on the 3rd frets of e and b strings.
