Angel Tab

by Matt Nathanson


~~~Verse
                           
You sounded so good on the phone
                           
All moved up and all moved on
                   
Me and gravity we never could agree
                     
I can almost see the sky
                        
When I need to close my eyes
                              
You're the only thing that's worth holding on to


~~~Chorus
                     
Angel you sing about beautiful things
                        
And all I want to do is believe
                            
I traded my dreams for this mess of memories
                               
And they just stopped working for me

~~~Interlude (see bottom)


~~~Verse
                     
I'm not a monster I believe
                     
Like a liar would believe
                       
Helps me navigate the wooden smiles, the raging sea
                         
All my heroes pull their heads
                        
Like a fighter would I guess
                    
No one really ever likes getting older


~~~Chorus
                     
Angel you sing about beautiful things
                        
And all I want to do is believe
                            
I traded my dreams for this mess of memories
                               
And they just stopped working for me

~~~Interlude (see bottom)


This is the interlude after the chorus.
Shift the basic structure of the C chord up two frets and use the index finger to hold
the b and e strings on 3.

E|--------------------|
A|5~------------------|
D|---4~---------------|
G|-------0~-----3~----|
B|------------3~------|
e|--------------------|

Note that during the verse, the song sounds fine with either the Dsus or a Cadd9.  I've
the song with either chord and no one notices anything wrong with the music.  I'm not

Also, if you are a beginner or don't know too many chords, these chords aren't too hard.
Just play the standard chord and keep your ring and pinky fingers on the 3rd frets of
e and b strings.
