~~~Verse
G                           Cadd9
You sounded so good on the phone
                           G
All moved up and all moved on
                   Dsus4
Me and gravity we never could agree
G                     Cadd9
I can almost see the sky
                        G
When I need to close my eyes
                              Dsus4
You're the only thing that's worth holding on to


~~~Chorus
G                     Dsus4
Angel you sing about beautiful things
    Em7                    Cadd9
And all I want to do is believe
    G                        Dsus4
I traded my dreams for this mess of memories
     Em7                          Cadd9
And they just stopped working for me

~~~Interlude (see bottom)


~~~Verse
G                     Cadd9
I'm not a monster I believe
                     G
Like a liar would believe
                       Dsus4
Helps me navigate the wooden smiles, the raging sea
G                         Cadd9
All my heroes pull their heads
                        G
Like a fighter would I guess
                    Dsus4
No one really ever likes getting older


~~~Chorus
G                     Dsus4
Angel you sing about beautiful things
    Em7                    Cadd9
And all I want to do is believe
    G                        Dsus4
I traded my dreams for this mess of memories
     Em7                          Cadd9
And they just stopped working for me

~~~Interlude (see bottom)


This is the interlude after the chorus.
Shift the basic structure of the C chord up two frets and use the index finger to hold
the b and e strings on 3.

E|--------------------|
A|5~------------------|
D|---4~---------------|
G|-------0~-----3~----|
B|------------3~------|
e|--------------------|

Note that during the verse, the song sounds fine with either the Dsus or a Cadd9.  I've
the song with either chord and no one notices anything wrong with the music.  I'm not
sure which one is correct, if anyone can point me in the right direction, my email 
is huntbryan36@yahoo.com

Also, if you are a beginner or don't know too many chords, these chords aren't too hard.
Just play the standard chord and keep your ring and pinky fingers on the 3rd frets of
e and b strings.
