C    D

G          D             Em
I lay here pretending to sleep
C                D          G            Em
Someone’s always asking for something of me
C                     D                     G    Em
I try to hide but I’m stripped of my strength
C            G      C            G
Bound by the truth, bored by the speed
Em                     D               G
And the promise of the fortune it brings
C               D            G
Oh mama, I just don't believe

G                     D        Em
Like it happened in a Broadway scene
C            D                   G            Em
Are we still acting, is this the real you and me
C                            D              G       Em
The words don’t flow, but my heart it still bleeds
C            G         C              G 
Bound by the love, the warmth that it brings
Em                     D         G
And its promise to fix everything
C               D            G
Oh mama, I just don't believe


[Chorus]

C     D             G
Angel wings tied to memories
Bm            Em   Bm         Em
They'll never fly, for you and I
C     D             G
Angel wings tied to melodies
Bm            Em    C           D
They'll never sing, for you and me

G    D    C  
G    Em   D

C    D

G                 D        Em
A young man whose soul was burning
C                D                  G
The hands of the people guiding him on
G               D                 Em
He was moving along, mama he was cooking
C                G    C                G
But the calendar won, his earnings are gone
Em                         D            G
And this fortune that this young man saw
C                D                   G
Oh mama, I don’t believe in it at all

C     D             G
Angel wings tied to memories
Bm            Em   Bm         Em
They'll never fly, for you and I
C     D             G
Angel wings tied to melodies
Bm            Em    C           D
They'll never sing, for you and me

Bm          Em  C             D
For you and me, They'll never sing
Bm            Em    C             D
They'll never sing, They'll never sing
Bm            Em    C             D
They'll never sing, They'll never sing
C               D          G
Oh mama, I just don't believe
C               D          G
Oh mama, I just don't believe
