Chords

[Intro] Cm Eb Cm Eb Cm Eb Cm Eb Cm [Verse 1]
G              Em7
So high above the world tonight

Eb                     Cm
the angels watch us sleeping

G              Em7
and underneath a bridge of stars

Eb                     Cm
we dream in safety's keeping.
[Verse 2]
G                     Em7
But perhaps the dream is dreaming us

Eb                  Cm
soaring with the seagulls

G                     Em7
but perhaps the dream is dreaming us

Eb                     Cm
astride the backs of eagles.
[Chorus]
Gm
When the angels fall

D
shadows on the wall

F
in the thunder's call

C
something haunts us all.

Eb                   Gm
When the angels fall,

Eb                   Gm
when the angels fall.
[Verse 3]
G                          Em7
Take your father's cross, gently from the wall

Eb                  Cm
the shadow still remaining

G                     Em7
see the churches fall in mighty arcs of sound

Eb                     Cm
and all that they're containing.
[Verse 4]
G                        Em7
Yet all the ragged souls of all the ragged men

Eb                  Cm
looking for, their lost homes

G                     Em7
shuffle to the ruins, from the levelled plain

Eb                  Cm
to search among the tombstones.
[Chorus]
Gm
When the angels fall

D
shadows on the wall

F
in the thunder's call

C
something haunts us all.

Eb                   Gm
When the angels fall,

Eb                   Gm
when the angels fall,

Eb                   Gm
when the angels fall.
[Bridge]
G
These are my feet,

F
these are my hands,

Dsus
these are my children, and this is my demand.

G
Bring down the angels,

F
cast them from my sight,

Dsus
I never want to see, a million suns at midnight.

C
Your hands are empty,

Dsus
the streets are empty,

                                              G      Em
You can't control us, You can't control us, anymore.
[Outro]
C                G     Em
When the angels fall,

C                G     Em
when the angels fall,

C                G     Em
when the angels fall,

C                G     Em
when the angels fall.

C                G              Em
When the angels fall (peace on earth)

C                G                       Em
when the angels fall (million suns at midnight)

C                G     Em
when the angels fall

C                G     Em
When the angels fall…
