Intro: C G Dm Fmaj7 2x
-VERSE 1----------------------------------------------------
C G
We were standing in an empty room
Dm Fmaj7
The moonlight was falling
C G Dm Fmaj7
You were holding my hand when the car pulled up for you
C G
And I could have spent a life with you
Dm Fmaj7
But those days were over
C G Dm Fmaj7
You were calling my name when your face faded from view
Dm Fmaj7 C G
And wasn't it you who told me the sun would always chase the day
Dm Fmaj7
And wasn't it you who told me
------------------------------------------------------------|
-CHORUS-----------------------------------------------------|
C G Dm Fmaj7
Angels fly in the air tonight
C G Dm Fmaj7
Saying wasn't it just like swimming out on the lake?
C G Dm Fmaj7
And stars collide and the air's alive
C G Dm
Or was it just like those promises that you made
Fmaj7 C
On our last night?
------------------------------------------------------------|
-VERSE 2----------------------------------------------------|
C G
I remember waking up with you
Dm Fmaj7
The days doing nothing
C G Dm Fmaj7
You meant more to me then than I think you ever knew.
C G
But you were gonna be a doctor, movie star
Dm Fmaj7
A poet at a Nobel seminar
C G Dm Fmaj7
I hope the world never tore that out of you
Dm Fmaj7 C G
And wasn't it you who told me the sun would always chase the day
Dm Fmaj7
And wasn't it you who told me
------------------------------------------------------------|
-CHORUS-----------------------------------------------------|
C G Dm Fmaj7
Angels fly in the air tonight
C G Dm Fmaj7
Saying wasn't it just like swimming out on the lake?
C G Dm Fmaj7
And stars collide and the air's alive
C G Dm
Or was it just like those promises that you made
Fmaj7 C
On our last night?
------------------------------------------------------------|
-BRIDGE-----------------------------------------------------|
Dm Fmaj7
And what ever happened to the things you loved
C G
And the songs we played, and the indian days
Dm Fmaj7 C
Whatever happened to the things you gave away?
G Dm Fmaj7 C
Like Harold and Maude singing
G Dm Fmaj7 C
Like Harold and Maude singing
G Dm Fmaj7 C
G Dm Fmaj7 C
------------------------------------------------------------|
-VERSE 3----------------------------------------------------|
C G
I was waving as you drove away
Dm Fmaj7
The sunlight was falling
C G Dm
You were writing backwards in a dusty window pane
------------------------------------------------------------|
-CHORUS-----------------------------------------------------|
C G Dm Fmaj7
Angels fly in the air tonight
C G Dm Fmaj7
Saying wasn't it just like swimming out on the lake?
C G Dm Fmaj7
