G             D/F#             Em7              C
I was walkin' home from school on a cold winter day.

G                      Em          Cadd2      C     D
Took a short cut through the woods and I lost my way.

G                   D/F# Em            C
  It was gettin' late,   and I was scared and alone.

G             Em7                 Cadd2  C           D
But then a kind old man took my hand     and led me home.

C                 Gsus2/B            C                D
  Now mama couldn't see him, oh, but he was standing there.

    C                Gsus2/B             C            D
And I knew in my heart        he was the answer to my prayers.
[Chorus]
    G   Em7         Am7           C/D     D
Oh, I believe there are   angels among us,

G           Em7         C            D
  Sent down to us from somewhere up above.

             G       Em7   C                D
They come to you and me in our darkest hours

   C               Gsus2/B  G/B
To show us how to live,

   C               D
To teach us how to give,

   C                 D        G
To guide us with the light of love.
[Verse 2]
     G                   D/F#            Em7         C
When life held troubled times and had me down on my knees,

        G               Em7          C                D
There's always been someone to come along and comfort me.

  G                  D/F#       Em             C
A kind word from a stranger, to lend a helping hand,

  G                 Em7               C         D
A phone call from a friend just to say, "I understand."
[Bridge]
    C                  Bm7        C                D
But ain't it kind of funny at the dark end of the road

     C                   Gsus2/B        C             D
That someone lights the way with just a single ray of hope.
[Chorus]
    G   Em7         Am7           C/D     D
Oh, I believe there are   angels among us,

G           Em7         C            D
  Sent down to us from somewhere up above.

             G       Em7   C                D
They come to you and me in our darkest hours

   C               Gsus2/B  G/B
To show us how to live,

   C               D
To teach us how to give,

   C                 D        G
To guide us with the light of love.
[Bridge]
C              Bm7         C                 Bm7
  They wear so many faces, show up in the strangest places

   C                   Bm7   Am7            D
To grace us with their mercy in our time of need.
[Chorus]
    G   Em7         Am7           C/D     D
Oh, I believe there are   angels among us,

G           Em7         C            D
  Sent down to us from somewhere up above.

             G       Em7   C                D
They come to you and me in our darkest hours

   C               Gsus2/B  G/B
To show us how to live,

   C               D
To teach us how to give,

   C                 D        G
To guide us with the light of love.
[Outro]
   C                 D                  G   D/F#   Csus2/E
To guide us with the light of love.
