[Verse 1]
A D A D
I could fly through a midnight rain
A E F#m
And be safe and warm and dry baby
D E
At the mention of your name
A D A D
And always sing your special song
A E F#m
And know deep inside that spirit girl
D E
That nothing could go wrong
A D A D
If you got to know what's pulling me thru
A E F#m
I have only one angel babe
D E A D A D
My one angel is you
[Verse 2]
A D A D
And I could run cross the desert wind
A E F#m
Till the day would leave me breathless baby
D E
Searching for words again
A D A D
And hope that you could hear that sound
A E F#m
In streams of magic colors
D E
That are painted across the ground
A D A D
If you gotta know what pulling me through
A E F#m
I have only one angel babe
D E A D A D A
My one angel is you
[Bridge]
Bm
And I'll always take it with me
E
like a charm
Bm
You keep me in the good light
E
Safe from harm
F#m D
You chase the dark clouds far away
Bm
You keep my feet
E D
from turning into clay
[Verse 3]
A D A D
If I could send out a melody
A E F#m
Do you suppose when the word got out
D E
That the circle could reach to me
A D
And cross that line
A D
In some distant land
A E F#m
Where the strings that ring my friends
D E
Are played by ancient hands
A D A
If you got to know what's pulling me through
A E F#m
I have only one angel babe
D E
My one angel is you
[Solo] (with chords of entire verse)
[Verse 4]
A D A D
I could fly through a midnight rain
A E F#m
And be safe and warm and dry baby
D E
At the mention of your name
A D A D
And always sing your special song
A E F#m
And know deep inside that spirit girl
D E
That nothing could go wrong
A D A
If you got to know what's pulling me thru
A E F#m
I have only one angel babe
D E A D A D A
My one angel is you
