Dm
Spend all your time waiting for that second chance,

for the break that will make it ok,

there's always some reason to feel “not good enough”,
C F G
and it's hard at the end of the day.

I need some distraction, oh beautiful release,

memories seep from my veins,

and may be empty and weightless, and maybe
C G
I'll find some peace tonight.

In the arms of the angel, fly away from here,

you're in the arms of the angel, may you fi….nd some comfort here.

So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn,
C F G
there's vultures and thieves at your back.
Dm
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies,
C F G
that you make up for all that you lack.

It don't make no difference, escaping one last time,
C Am G
it's easier to believe
Dm F
in this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness
C G
that brings me to my knees.

In the arms of the angel, fly away from here,
F C G
from this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear.
