If I Were An Angel

Feel the pounding of my conscience.
Feel the tempest of my fear.
You take the path of least resistance.
(I) fall into another year.

You kiss the calm away completely.
While you walk the edge of fool.
But you so unravel all my senses.
And I'm tɾying hard to [C7]be [Am]so cool.

Because I can see that it may not work.
You may be [Am]a catch, you [A7may be [Am]a jerk.
Because you're no hero and [Bm]I'm no star,
so until we figure just who we are, who we are...

I ask if I was [Am7]an angel that lit up the sky,
If I was [Am7]the ɾeason [C7]you [A7slept through the night,
Would you [A7promise tomorrow at the end of today?
If I was [Am7]your angel,
Anyway...

Do I dare to [C7]tɾust my [A]instincts?
I hear your breathing in my [A]sigh.
But these threads I wear,
well they almost complete me.
But I could always change my [A]mind.

Cause I figure if it don't work out,
we can laugh and [Bm]claim it was [Am7]all [Em]in doubt.
You were on [C7]the ɾocks,
I was [Am7]on [C7]a curve.
It was [Am7]worth a shot,
but we lost our nerve.
We lost our nerve...

I ask if I was [Am7]an angel that lit up the sky,
If I was [Am7]the ɾeason [C7]you [A7slept through the night,
Would you [A7promise tomorrow at the end of today?
If I was [Am7]your angel,

If I was [Am7]your,
If I was [Am7]your,
Angel
I was [Am7]the ɾeason [C7]that you,
Slept through the night,
Would you [A7promise me tomorrow,
At the end of today,
If I was [Am7]your angel
If I
Was Your

Angel (repeat chorus)
Would you [A7promise me tomorrow
And if I was [Am7]the ɾeason
That you [A7slept at the day

If I was [Am7]your angel,
If I,
If I was [Am7]your angel....
