Angel Of Babylon (2010) [Intro] C Am Em G x2
C
I sold my soul for diamonds

Am
And reason for acclaim

Em
Been begging for white angels

G
To blow my mind away

C
Been growing funny flowers

Am
Where roses never grew

Em
I stayed awake all night

G
When I woke up from dreams
Of me and you
Dm                          Em     F
I tried to take the sun and I went blind

Dm                          Em   F     G
God help me to erase you from my mind

            F
I'm growing cold
And the night is yet to come
                  C
Anyone tell me is this
[Chorus]
                      G
The way it's meant to be

            Am
Lost and isolated

	G        F
I'm way too complicated

	    G       C
For you to lean on me

		  G
I play a losing game

		  Dm
I cried in desperation

     Em     F
Mental devastation

			C       G
I'm blowing out the flame

C
Self-pity gave me shelter

Am
I always hid away in vice

Em
Dyslexic, torn and tattered

G                        F
I tried to read the signs

C
You never tried to take a look

Am
At the one I'd have died to be

Em  				G
Now it seems you don't see me at all

Dm
Was it all worth it

	 Em	F
Visions holding sway

Dm			      Em       F     G
When the real thing got lost along the way

     F		      C
Yes anyone tell me is this
[Chorus]
                      G
The way it's meant to be

            Am
Lost and isolated

	G        F
I'm way too complicated

	    G       C
For you to lean on me

		  G
I play a losing game

		  Dm
I cried in desperation

     Em     F
Mental devastation

			C       G#
I'm blowing out the flame
[Solo] A# C Dm Am C A# C Dm Gm Am
		      C
Yes anyone tell me is this
[Chorus]
                      G
The way it's meant to be

            Am
Lost and isolated

	G        F
I'm way too complicated

	    G       C
For you to lean on me

		  G
I play a losing game

		  Dm
I cried in desperation

     Em     F
Mental devastation

			C       G    C
I'm blowing out the flame
