[Verse 1]
D A D
I have climbed so many moutains,just to reach the other side
A D
And i've near drowned myself in freedom,just to feed my foolish pride
G D
On my journey through the darkness,i have finally seen the light
A D
I know no one's ever loved me like you're loving me tonight
[Verse 2]
D A D
There is something you must tell me,you think i won't understand
A D
How you found such worldy pleasures,in the arms of other men
G D
I would never try to judge you,we have both been wrong and right
A D
But i know no one's ever loved you like i'm loving you tonight
[Verse 3]
D G D
God will save His fallen angels,and their broken wings He'll mend
E A
When He draws their hearts together and they learn to love again
G D
All their sins will be forgiven in the twinkle of an eye
A D
All the saints rejoice in Heaven,when the fallen angels fly
[Verse 4]
D A D
There's a story in the bible,about the eagle growing old
A D
How it grows new sets of feathers,then becomes both young and strong
G D
Then it spreads its mightly wing span out across the open sky
A D
We will have the wings of eagles,when the fallen angels fly
[Verse 5]
D G D
When the fallen angels fly,when the fallen angels fly
A D
We will have the wings of eagles when the fallen angels fly
