Intro: F C Dm C Bb C Dm C


Verse 1:

F           C                Dm   C
I saw you standing on that bridge
Bb            C                 Dm                C            
Right then I knew the life that I would like to live
F            C               Dm  C
Your frizzy hair tangled my mind
Bb           C                  Dm               C
Right then I knew that I would love you for all time
F             C                Dm  C
You ran your hand across the ledge
Bb            C                 Dm             C
Right then I felt that all my hunger had been fed
F               C                  Dm C 
You cracked a smile up towards the sky
Bb             C                 Dm            C 
That thought alone will keep me happy for my life 

           Bb
But I ask now...


Chorus:

Bb       C                F         C       Bb
How can angels fly when you're still on the ground
Bb                  C              Dm               F 
Cause I've been searching my whole life for you to turn my life around
Bb          C                                  Dm 
And now I don't know what to say because the pain won't go away
          F                         Bb              C       F  
And I've crying since the day that you took all my good away

Verse 2:

F             C            Dm  C
I wish I had never walked away 
Bb           C                   Dm             C
Cause if I knew you'd jump, I'd dive into that bay
F                  C                 Dm  C 
And I would have saved you from the cold
Bb              C                  Dm                 C 
Cause when you took that leap you stole my heart and soul

         Bb
So I ask now...


Chorus:

Bb       C                F         C       Bb
How can angels fly when you're still on the ground
Bb                  C              Dm               F 
Cause I've been searching my whole life for you to turn my life around
Bb          C                                  Dm 
And now I don't know what to say because the pain won't go away
          F                         Bb              C       F
And I've crying since the day that you took all my good away


Verse 3:

F             C             Dm   C
Your mother said you're up above
Bb            C           Dm              C 
And all you wanted was a man for you to love
F             C              Dm  C 
Well I just started breaking down
Bb            C                Dm             C               Bb 
Because the angel I'd been searching for had left me on the ground
              C       F
And now I'll die alone
