D#
My life is brilliant,
A#
My love is pure.

I saw an angel,
G#
Of that I’m sure.
          D#
She smiled at me on the subway,
         A#
She was with another man.
    Cm7
But I won’t lose no sleep all night,
’Cause I've got a plan.

Chorus:
  G#              A#
     You’re beautiful.

     And I don't know what to do,
     A#
     ’Cause I’ll
     G#    A#      D#
     Never be with you.

          D#
Yes, she caught my eye
      A#
As I walked on by.

She could see from my face that I was
G#
Fucking high.
A#        D#                A#
And I don’t think that I’ll see her again,
    Cm7
But we shared a moment
That will last till the end.

     There must be an angel
            D#    A#      Cm7
     With a smile on her face
               G#
     When she thought up
                           A#  D# Dm Cm7
     That I should be with you.
               G#      A#       Cm7
     But it’s time to face the truth;
             G#   A#      D#
     I will never be with you.
