D Dmaj7 G G (2x)
[Verse]
D Dmaj7 G
Tell the man who repairs the wings for angels
D Dmaj7 G
That one has fallen among the mortals on Bleeker Street
D Dmaj7 G
I lent a hand, she looked up at the steeples
D Dmaj7 G
As if to blame them for the pavement beneath her feet
Em
She said, "I never much liked flying,
G
but the job requires trying
Em
The hard part's avoiding
G
buildings and concrete"
[Chorus]
D Dmaj7 G
Spread the news, 'cause there's an angel in Manhattan
D Dmaj7 G
Call out the paparazzi and the television crews
Bm A
Let the people choose
G
Would a little Faith come to harm them?
Bm A G
Print the headlines up in the New York Daily News
Em
It was just another day
G
Like any other, other day
D Dmaj7 G
A Tuesday afternoon
[Verse]
D Dmaj7 G
I hailed a cab, a crowd gathered as it pulled beside us
D Dmaj7 G
And somebody tore at her wings, but I helped her safely inside
D Dmaj7 G
"I'm much obliged," she said, but the driver he looked shaken
D Dmaj7 G
He said, "You're fakin', lady, who's taking who for a ride"
Em
But then we floated up over the traffic,
G
she turned the radio to static,
Em
And she sang to him
G
in Billy Holiday's sweet voice
[Chorus]
Bm A G
Spread the news, 'cause there's an angel in Manhattan
Bm A G
Call out the paparazzi and the television crews
D Dmaj7 G
Hey if you choose, would a little Faith come to harm you?
D Dmaj7 G
Print the headlines up in the New York Daily News
Em
It was just another day
G
What will the mayor say?
D Dmaj7 G
"Good afternoon.
D Dmaj7 G
Oh, good afternoon."
[Bridge]
G A
We flew down the length of Fifth Avenue
Bm A G
Man, she threw out miracles, it was a hysterical ride
G A
And if the crowd on the sidewalk looked skeptical
Bm A G
She took the blue right out of their cynical eyes
Em
"It's all in what you feel inside"
[Verse]
D Dmaj7 G
She shook the mayor's hand, and he declared
That he'd hold a press conference,
D Dmaj7 G
The fans and protesters blocked the stairs to city hall
D Dmaj7
"I'd like to thank you all," he said
G
And when she stepped before the cameras
D Dmaj7 G
It felt like a trial, but she smiled as the questions were called,
Em
"What do you say to detractors,
G
who claim you're just some actor?"
Em
She said, "The question here, is
G
'Do I believe in you?'"
Em
It was just another day
G
Like any other, other day
Bm A G
Spread the news, I saw an angel fly from Manhattan
Bm A G
In front of paparazzi, in front of television crews
D Dmaj7 G
And me I choose... I know a little Faith wouldn't harm me
D Dmaj7 G
Despite what they print in the New York Daily News
Em
It was just another day
G
Like any other, other day
[Outro]
D Dmaj7 G
Like any day
D Dmaj7 G x 2
