G Em7 So high above the world tonight D# Cm the angels watch us sleeping G Em7 and underneath a bridge of stars D# Cm we dream in safety's keeping. But perhaps the dream is dreaming us soaring with the seagulls but perhaps the dream is dreaming us astride the backs of eagles. Chorus: Gm When the angels fall D/F# shadows on the wall F in the thunder's call C/E something haunts us all. D# Gm When the angels fall, D# Gm when the angels fall. Take your father's cross, gently from the wall the shadow still remaining see the churches fall in mighty arcs of sound and all that they're containing. Yet all the ragged souls of all the ragged men looking for, their lost homes shuffle to the ruins, from the levelled plain to search among the tombstones. Chorus when the angels fall. G These are my feet, F these are my hands, D these are my children, and this is my demand. G Bring down the angels, F cast them from my sight, D I never want to see, a million suns at midnight. C Your hands are empty, D the streets are empty, You can't control us, G Em You can't control us, anymore. 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 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC  Cm  C D  D#  E  Em  Em7  F  F#  G  Gm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
