[Verse]

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              
Let me be empty, oh, and weightless and maybe
      C             F         G
I'll find some peace tonight.

[Chorus]

             C     Csus4 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       Csus4      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 F

[Verse 2]

F                      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.

[Ulangi Chorus]
