Angels

Em           F#5            G
There are no angels left in America 
anymore
 E        F#5             G
They left after the Second World War
 heading west
  Em     F#5                       
Stopping briefly in Japan during the
G
 60's
E        F#5                     
Then in Tianamen Square during 
   G
the last decade
Em    F#5          E      G
They kept heading west to who knows 
where
 Em              G
What are they after?
 E                     G
What are they looking for?
Em                      G
A messiah who never comes?
E             G
A virgin birth?
Em           G
A perfect drug?
E                 G
A sign, any kind of sign?
Em                    E          
Anything that looks slightly out 
        G
of the ordinary

 Em
Flying over fields and factories
E
Momma's going off her head
Em
Daddy's bringing home the bacon

E
Open up the pearly gates
Em
Fruit of salty lubrication
E
Tangled up in arms and legs
Em
I can barely touch the bottom
E
Now I'm working up a sweat!
Em   G    F#5
I'm ready now
 Em   G   F#5
I'm ready now

Em    F#5          G
I can barely touch my own self
E        F#5       G
How could I touch someone else?
Em       F#5       G
I am just an advertisement
E     F#5       G
For a version of myself

Em
Like molecules in constant motion
 E
Like a million nervous tics
Em
I am quivering in anticipation
E
Like the sunlight on their wings
Em G     F#5   C
I'm ready now (don't look back)
Em  G     F#5   C
I'm ready now (I'm ready for this)
Em   G    F#5   C
I'm ready now (uhh, uhh, uhhh)
 C   Em              C    Em
The sensuous world - the smell of 
the sea
C                    Em     C   
The sweat off their wings - the 
            Em
fruit from the trees
 C        Em       C              
The angel inside - who will meet me 
Em
tonight
 C   G      Em       Em     G
On wings of desire - I come back 
alive
Em  G
I'm ready
Em   G     F#5   C
I'm ready (I put the dogs outside)
 Em  G
I'm ready
Em   G     F#5  C

 Em G     F#5
I'm ready now
Em  G     F#5  C
I'm ready now (to take that wine)
Em  G     F#5  Em  G    C   G
I'm ready now but where are you?
