Short intro:  , , , 

C... [1st verse]
                                                   
Spend all your time waiting for that second chance

                                                     
For the break that would make it okay

                                                      
There's always some reason to feel not good enough

                                               
And it's hard at the end of the day

                                      
I need some distraction, a beautiful release

                                       
Memories seep from my veins

                                      
Let me be empty, oh and weightless, and maybe

                               
I'll find some peace tonight


[Chorus]

                                
In the arms of the angel, 
       - /   
fly away from here,
                   -                  
From this dark, cold hotel room, 
                -                    
and the endlessness that you fear,

                                                   
You are pulled from the wreckage, 
               /  
of your silent reverie,
                                    
You're in the arms of the angel, 
                -                      
may you find some comfort here.


, , ... [2nd verse]
                                                 
So tired of this straight line, and everywhere you turn

                                                        
There's vultures and theives at your back

                                                                
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies

                                                    
That you make up for all that you lack.

                                                  
It don't make no difference, escape one last time

      -           
It's easier to believe

                                             
In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness

                                
That brings me to my knees.

[Repeat chorus...]

                                    
You're in the arms of the angel, 
                -                      
may you find some comfort here.
