I wasn't going to put another version up, but the ones here aren't quite right, 
and the one that is seems a 

little over-complicated

Here's an easy version although it may not be exact or deadon for the fussy types. Enjoy

Intro

C -> Cadd9
C -> Cadd9

(C)                  Dm                F
Spend all your time waiting for that second chance, 
        C               F        G
for a break that would make it okay. 

(G)                   Dm            F
There's always some reason to feel not good enough, 
           C           F          G
and it's hard, at the end of the day. 

(G)           Dm                 F
I need some distraction, Oh, a beautiful release. 
       C       F           G
....memories seep from my veins. 

(G)        Dm              F                         C          F      G
Let me be empty, Oh, and weightless and maybe, I'll find some peace tonight. 


CHORUS: 

        C   Cadd9    C         Em
In the arms of the angel, fly away from here, 
           F                              C                    G
from this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you feel. 
         C       Cadd9    C                Em
You are pulled from the wreckage, Of your silent reverie. 
               F                         C  G                   C
You're in the arms of the angel, may you find.... some comfort here. 

Verse 2
(C)                 Dm                F
So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn, 
         C            F               G
there's vultures and thieves at your back. 

(G)                 Dm                 F
The storm keeps on twisting. Keep on building the lies 
          C                        G
that you make up for all that you lack. 

(G)            Dm           F                         
Don't make no difference, escape one last time. 
     C     F       G
It's easier to believe... 

(G)             Dm                F
in this sweet madness, Oh, this glorious sadness, 
      C         F      G
that brings me to my knees. 

CHORUS 
        C   Cadd9    C         Em
In the arms of the angel, fly away from here, 
           F                              C                    G
from this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you feel. 
         C       Cadd9    C                Em
You are pulled from the wreckage, Of your silent reverie. 
               F                         C  G                   C
You're in the arms of the angel, may you find.... some comfort here.           
               F                         C  G                   C
You're in the arms of the angel, may you find.... some comfort here.
