[Verse 1]
G                              C/G         G
I step outside and make my way on from Carolina

G                          C/G            G
Any way the weather blows, home is where I find you

G                                                        C/G
With the ache inside to ride the mighty wind and nothing more

C/G                             D               G
Oh, I just wanna see you there, sleeping on my floor
[Verse 2]
G                        C/G            G
I don't really like you, I just wanna kiss you

G                            C/G              G
I don't know how to love you, but somedays I miss you

G                                              C/G
Oh, I just wanna see you there, sleeping on my floor

C/G                                       D               G
With the ache inside to ride the mighty wind and nothing more
[Chorus]
    Em                G
I'm calling on angels now

   Em                 G
I want them to set me free

   Em                C          G             C
I hope that they're real, cause sometimes it feels

        G     D      G
Like nobody's listening
[Verse 3]
G                                     C/G            G
When I was only twelve years old, my parents went a-walking

G                                    C/G                  G
I hate those wicked words they'd say when they started talking

G                                                         C/G
He was headed for the open road, she turned and slammed the door

C/G                                   D             G
Learning love ain't easy child, when all you see is war
[Chorus]
    Em                G
I'm calling on angels now

   Em                 G
I want them to set me free

   Em                C          G             C
I hope that they're real, cause sometimes it feels

        G     D  Cmaj7   G
Like nobody's listening
[Bridge]
        C                                                Em
And the moon and the sun and the stars shine bright and high

       C                                                 G
And I can't help but wonder the way that the world goes by

    C                            D                      G
I hope that they're real, and I hope they can hear me cry
[Verse 4]
G                                C/G             G
Pulling all the fences down and pushing on the levies

G                                      C/G               G
This water's getting high again; these hands are getting heavy

G                                          C/G
And we are all just hypocrites lying for a shore

C/G                                     D                G
With the ache inside to ride the mighty wind and nothing more
[Verse 5]
G                                   C/G               G
She came and shook me tenderly one night when I was drinking

G                                  C/G             G
The alcohol was quick as sand and took me down to sinking

G                                                C/G
The sinking took me praying and I fell upon the floor

C/G                                           D              G
I said I'm waiting for my time to go, please tell it to me, lord
[Chorus]
    Em                G
I'm calling on angels now

   Em                 G
I want them to set me free

   Em                C          G             C
I hope that they're real, cause sometimes it feels

        G     D  Cmaj7   G
Like nobody's listening
[Outro]
        C                                                Em
And the moon and the sun and the stars shine bright and high

       C                                                 G
And I can't help but wonder the way that the world goes by

    C                            D                      G
I hope that they're real, and I hope they can hear me cry

         C                              D                     G
I'm not sure if they're real, but I'll wait for them 'till I die
