Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

I sit and wait

does an angel

 Contemplate my fate

 And do they know

The places where we go

 When we're grey and old

 Coz I've been told

 That salvation lets their wings unfold

 So when I'm lying in my bed

 Thoughts running through my head

 And I feel that love is dead

 I'm loving angels instead

Chorus

 And through it all

 He offers me protection

 A lot of love and affection

 Whether I'm right or wrong

 And down the waterfall

 Wherever it may take me

 I know that life won't break me

 When I come to call

 He won't forsake me

I'm loving angels instead

Verse 2

 When I'm feeling weak

 And my pain walks down a one way street

 I look above

 And I know I'll always be blessed with love

 And as the feeling grows

 He breathes flesh to my bones

 And when love is dead

I'm loving angels instead

Chorus

 And through it all

 He offers me protection

 A lot of love and affection

 Whether I'm right or wrong

 And down the waterfall

 Wherever it may take me

 I know that life won't break me

 When I come to call

 He won't forsake me

I'm loving angels instead

Instrumental

Chorus

 And through it all

 He offers me protection

 A lot of love and affection

 Whether I'm right or wrong

 And down the waterfall

 Wherever it may take me

 I know that life won't break me

 When I come to call

 He won't forsake me

I'm loving angels instead
