CAm 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.
CAm 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] FG I can't promise that I'll grow those wings CGF or keep this tarnished halo shined FG but I'll never betray your trust C angel mine.
CAm I search all the time on the ground Em for our shadows cast side by side. FC Just to remind me that I haven't gone crazy G that you exist and are mine
CAm And I know that your skin is as warm and as real Em as that smile in your eyes. FC But I F have to keep touching and smelling G and tasting for fear it's all lies.
[Chorus] FG I can't promise that I'll grow those wings CGF or keep this tarnished halo shined FG but I'll never betray your trust C angel mine.
CAm 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] FG I can't promise that I'll grow those wings CGF or keep this tarnished halo shined FG but I'll never betray your trust C angel mine.
FG I can't promise that I'll grow those wings CGF or keep this tarnished halo shined FG but I'll never betray your trust C angel mine.
