You should have been an angel, it would have suited you,
       D9                 A                  D9       A9      E5       ??E5      ??
My gold leafed triptych angel, she knows just what to do.
          E                           E74                 A
In the half light of morning, in a world between the sheets,
   D9            A                   A9      E5            ??E5      ??D9
I swear I saw her angel wing, my vision was complete.


           D9               A9              E5      ??E5      ??
And I know I?ll never want another lover, my sweet.
              D9
Can there be more in this world,
       A9                  B5alt
Than the joy of just watching you sleep?

I don?t know just what to feel,
                        E          E74??
Won?t someone tell me my love is real?

E                  D9
Are we etched in stone or just scratched in the sand,
A                               D    A           E
Waiting for the waves to come and re-claim the land.
E                    D9
Will the sun shine, all sweetness and light,
A                     D9      A9   E
Burn us to a cinder, our third stone sat---e---lite.


      E            D9
I?m on a tightrope, baby, nine miles high,
A                        D9             E
Striding through the clouds on my ribbon in the sky.
      E                  D9
I?m on a tightrope, baby, one thing I?ve found,

I don?t know how to stop, and it?s a
G        Bm   E5
Long, long, long, long way down.

          E5                       D9
She?s all that ever mattered and all that ever will,
       A                  D9   A9   E
My cup it runneth over, I?ll never  get my  fill.
        E                       D9
The boats in the harbour slip from their chains,
A                     D9   A9  E
Head for new horizons, lets      do the   same.


      E            D9
I?m on a tightrope, baby, nine miles high,
A                        D9             E
Striding through the clouds on my ribbon in the sky.

I don?t know how to stop,

And it?s a tightrope, baby, nine miles high,
A                        D9             E
Striding through the clouds on my ribbon in the sky.
