Hey Angel,

Do you know the reasons why
    D#
We look up to the sky?

Hey Angel,
        C#             G#
Do you look at us and laugh

 Oh I wish I could be more like you

 Do you wish you could me more like me?

 Oh I wish I could be more like you

Hey Angel,
Tell me, do you ever try
To come to the other side?
Hey Angel,
Tell me, do you ever cry
While we waste away our lives?

 could be more

        C#                        G#
Yeah I see you at the bar, at the edge of my bed
     D#
Backseat of my car, on the back of my head
   C#                         G#
I can’t help but laugh when I hear you voice
        D#
It’s a beautiful sound, it’s a beautiful noise

Do you look up to the sky

 Oh I wish I could be more like you
 Do you wish you could me more like me?
 Oh I wish I could be more like you
 Do you wish you could be more like me?

 Hey Angel,
     C#  G# D#
 Hey Angel
