This strum video is in 3/4 but is almost identical to the pattern above:
Intro: C Fmaj7/A (x2)
Dm7 F
Spend all your time waiting for that second chance,
C F G
For the break that will make it okay.
Dm7 F
There’s always some reason to feel not good enough,
C F G
And
it’s hard at the end of the day.
Dm7 F
I need some distraction or a beautiful release,
C
F G
Memories seep from my veins.
Dm7 F
Let me be empty and weightless and maybe,
C F Gsus4
I’ll find some peace tonight.
Chorus:
C Cadd9 C Em
In the arms of the angel fly away from here,
F
C G
From this dark, cold hotel room and the endlessness that you fear.
C Cadd9 C
Em
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie,
F
C G
You’re in the arms of the angel, may you find some comfort here.
Repeat Intro
Dm7 F
So tired of the straight line and everywhere you turn,
C F G
There’s vultures and thieves at your back.
Dm7 F
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies,
C F G
That make up for all that you lack.
Dm7 F
It don’t make no difference, escape one last time,
C F G
It’s easier to believe.
Dm7 F
In this sweet madness, oh, this glorious sadness,
C F Gsus4
That brings me to my knees
Chorus
C F C G
You’re in the arms of the angel, may you find some comfort here.
Ending:
C Fmaj7/A (x3)
