[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…
