(Intro)
so tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
and the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lies
that you make up for all that you lack
it don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
Ab
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees
C# C#9 C#
in the arms of an angel
Fm
fly away from here
F#
from this dark cold hotel room
C# Bm Ab
and the endlessness that you fear

you are pulled from the wreckage

of your silent reverie

you're in the arms of the angel

may you fiii....ind some comfort here

you're in the arms of the angel
