[Intro]
C G Am G
F G Am G

[Verse]
C G Am G
I saw you standing on that bridge
F G Am G
Right then I knew the life that I would like to live
C G Am G
Your frizzy hair tangled my mind
F G Am G
Right then I knew that I would love you for all time
C G Am G
You ran your hand across the ledge
F G Am G
Right then I felt that all my hunger had been fed
C G Am G
You cracked a smile up towards the sky
F G Am G F
That thought alone will keep me happy for my life, but I ask now

[Chorus]
F G Am C F
How can angels fly when you're still on the ground?
F G Am C F
Cause I've been searching my whole life for you to turn my life around
F G Am
And now I don't know what to say because the pain won't go away
C F G C
And I've been crying since the day that you took all my good away

[intro riff]
C G Am G
F G Am G

[Verse]
C G Am G
I wish I'd never walked away
F G Am G
Cause if I knew you'd jump I'd dive into that bay
C G Am G
And I would have saved you from the cold
F G Am G F
Cause when you took that leap you stole my heart and soul, so I ask now

[Chorus]
F G Am C F
How can angels fly when you're still on the ground?
F G Am C F
Cause I've been searching my whole life for you to turn my life around
F G Am
And now I don't know what to do cause I’ve been standing at your grave
C F G C
And I've been crying since the day that you took all my good away

[intro riff]
C G Am G
F G Am G

[Verse]
C G Am G
Your mother said you're up above
F G Am G
And all you wanted was a man for you to love
C G Am G
Well I just started breaking down
F G Am G F
Because the angel I've been searching for had left me on the ground
G C
And now I'll die alone
