Dave Matthews Band - Angel


Verse 1:
                                                                 
I call you up    You pick up    You call my bluff    On the card to love
                                                                                                  
You hold too close    Your hands to your chest      I can read your eyes    But I confess
            
It's lonely far from you, oh
          
Even when    you're right by me
           
It's only why       I wait for you
                
To take my hand

Chorus:
                                                 
Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
                                                  
Why do I come after you like I do, I love you?
                 
Wherever you are

I swear
              
You be my angel, you


Verse 2:
                                                                                    
I play my cards            the best I can           But I lose my luck         when you're not here
                                                                                 
My darling heart  Won't you please give in?  I may be strong   But I want you back again
                           
When you're not here it's hard to pretend
        
It's all alright       again
                          
When you're not here love it's hard to pretend
         
It's all alright           but still


Chorus:
                                                 
Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
                                                
Why do I run after you like I do, I love you?
                  
Whatever you are

I swear
              
You be my angel, you


Verse 3:
                                                                                                       
                      
Watch the deck     Count your cards      Makes no sense     That I'm always losing
                                                                
When you're gone


Chorus:
                                                 
Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
                                                   
Why do I come after you like I do, I love you
                  
Whatever you are

I swear
                                                                  
You'll be my angel, you
                                                                           
When you're gone                                                                                 (end)
