C#m
When nothing goes my way
     B
And late nights turn to days
    A                         C#m
I spend my life in and out of trouble
                          B
And everywhere I turn, I never seem to learn
A                        C#m
Ending up my own worst enemy
  G#m                     F#
I can't get by alone, I'm helpless on my own
          E                             F#
When I'm desperate and I got nowhere to go

Chorus:
          D#m  B   F#
I need an angel tonight
   C#              D#m    B     F#
To come around and save me this time
     C#            D#m                 F#       B
Just take away the pain that's killing me and show
        C#
me the light, oooh
          D#m  B  F# E
I need an angel tonight

People I meet when I'm out there on the street
Open up the door to temptation
And every time they try, it's hard up to get by
And find the straight to carry me through
You know there's a price to pay each time
I lose my way
Now I need someone here by my side

Chorus

B A          F#        E B
To come and help me now
          A              F#   E B
Oooh she gives me what I need
 A              B
Like an angel above me now, hey!

Chorus

I need an angel
Uhh an angel
Talking about an angel
Dreaming about an angel
Ohh an angel tonight
Yeah, just an angel
Talking about an angel
