VERSE 1: 
                    D 
Angel circlin' the heavens 
                             A 
thoughts drift by on silver clouds 
 
a weathered crack deep in the sidewalk 
                                A 
from too much hustle, too much crowd 
                                 D 
there's too much time left on my hands 
                                  G 
there's too much heartache in my soul 
                                      D       
there's too much hangin' round this pay-phone 
 A                          D 
there's too much loss of self-control 
 
Refr?o -------------
                               G 
and i guess your love is like nails 
             D 
so you can crucify me 
                        A 
and lay down upon your rails 
                             D 
so you could locomotive over me 
                          G 
yeah you stone me when i stumble 
                             D 
and thorns are woven in your talk 
  
and i come with you as always 
         A                   G 
down the via dolorosa when i walk 
   G 
i walk

VERSE 2: 
                                 D 
my demons come around with the sundown 
                                    A 
and they dance their circles in my head 
 
and how they twirl your memory all around 
                             A 
and lay you down on burning beds 
 
i pity you my saving angel 
                        G 
i wish i may, i wish i might 
                                  D 
have you saved your last prayer for me 
A                      D 
wherever god has you tonight 
 
(chorus)
