Tim McGraw Angel Boy
A Em7 D
My mother said there's only one way
G A
A sweet angel boy, narrow and straight
Em7 D
Timing his past, teachings they fade
G A
Now their angel boy has gone astray
Chorus
A Em7
D
I've felt the hand of the Devil, felt his breath on my skin
A G A
Dip me into the water, wash me again
Em7 D
Can I still be forgiven for all of these things
A
Or have I gone too far now
G A Em7 D
Have I lost my wings
A Em7 D
I found a priest, I spoke my mind
G A
Asked if I'd sinned one too many times
Em7 D
He said "My son, you're only a man"
G A
Then I said, "Sir, you don't understand"
Repeat Chorus
A Em7 D
God help us all for what we have done
G A
We've lost our way, we can't find the Son
Em7 D
We make our beds, we seal our fate
G A
Is there still time, or is it too late
Chorus 2
A Em7
D
We've felt the hand of the Devil, felt his breath on our skin
A G A
Dip us into the water, wash us again
Em7 D
Can we still be forgiven for all of these things
A
Or have we gone too far now
G A Em7 D A
Have we lost our wings
Hope you like this song as much as I do
