G                     C
  a man is placed upon the steps, a baby cries and
G                            C                     G
 high above you can hear the church bells start to ring
G                                    C
  and the heaviness the heaviness oh it settles in
                  G                   C          G
somewhere you can hear a mother sing

          Am
then it's one foot then the other as you step out on the road
G          C
  step out on the road
G                  C
  how much weight? how much weight?
          Am
then it's how long? and how far?
                   D      C             G/B       D
and how many times oooh before it's too late?

            C
calling all angels
            G
calling all angels
                D
walk me through this one
                G
don't leave me alone
            C
calling all angels
            Em
calling all angels
      D            C
we're tryin, we're hopin
          G/B      Am      G
But we're not sure how

    C
and every day you gaze upon the sunset
          G          C         G
with such love and intensity

why it's almost as if
                  C
if you could only crack the code
                              G              C         G
you'd finally understand what this all means
    Am
Ah but if you could do you think you would
                           G          C         G
trade in all, all the pain   and suffering?
        Am
ah, but then you would have missed

the beauty of the light upon this earth
   D       C             G/B       D
and the sweetness of the leaving

           C
calling all angels
            G
calling all angels
                D
walk me through this one
                G
don't leave me alone
            C
calling all angels
            Em
calling all angels
      D            C
we're tryin, we're hopin
          G/B      Am
But we're not sure how

          C
calling all angels  (calling all angels)
            G
calling all angels  (calling all angels)
        D
walk me through this one  (walk me through this one)
                G
don't leave me alone

            C
calling all angels
            Em
calling all angels
      D            C
we're tryin, we're hopin
      G/B            Am
We're hurtin', we're lovin
      D            C
we're cryin, we're calling
            G/B      Am
Cause we're not sure how.....
