C             A#
Once an angel
F         C
always an angel.
            G
You're as close to heaven
              C
as I'll ever be.
                       A#
It's been six years now
          F                    C
since my ring slipped on your finger
           G             D
and those years have made
                     G
a better man out of me.

Chorus:
        C
Once an angel
          F    D
always an angel.
            C
You're as close to heaven
   G          C
as I'll ever be.

There been times when
I've treated you so badly.
I've done things I know
you'll never understand.
But you take me back
turn your eyes towards the window.
Where your hide your tears
you don't want me to see.

Chorus:
Once an angel
always an angel.
You're as close to heaven
as I'll ever be.

Once an angel
always an angel.
You're as close to heaven
as I'll ever be.

            C
You're as close to heaven
   G          C
as I'll ever be.
oh-ohh
