D A
Sometimes it seems so strange
Bm G Em
The way I feel for you
D A Bm G Em
It makes my life so quiet and free
D A
And when you smile at me
Bm G Em
It's just that special love
D A A#m Bm Bb
That kind of liberty I never felt before
 
D A Bm
And I don't need to be a poet
G Em D
I don't need to be a HERO
A A#m Bm Bb
When all I need to do is keep on loving you
D A Bm G Em
I just have to be me and I don't need to be
D A Bm
The stranger anymore I used to be
G Em D
In my impossible dream
 
I keep my fingers crossed
I never want to lose
This new found world that's so alive
Angel
I'm so in love with you
My heart has circled in the past
The demons of deceit but now aside I've cast
