              D#m7                  C#
She's got her halo and wings hidden under his eyes
             D#m7                            C#/F
But she's an Angel for sure, She just can't stop telling lies
             D#m7                        C#
But it's too late for his love, Already caught in a trap
            D#m7                         C#/F
His angel's kiss was a joke, And she is not coming back

               A#m7
Because heaven sends and heaven takes
         G#                          A#m7
Crashing cars in his brain Keep him tied up to a dream
          G#
And only she can set him free And then he says to me:

Chorus:
C#m                   C#/F                   A#m
Kill me now, Kill me now, Kill me now, Kill me  now!
C#m                   C#/F                    A#m
Kill me now, Kill me now, Kill me now, Kill me  now!

Yeah, she's got a criminal mind, he's got a reason to pray
His life is under the gun, he's got to hold every day
Now he just wants to wake up, yeah, just to prove it's a dream
'Cause she's an angel for sure, but that remains to be seen

Because heaven sends and heaven takes
Crashing cars in his brain Keep him tied up to a dream
And only she can set him free And then he says to me:

Chorus

A#m
Stupid on the streets of London,
 G#                   A#m
James Dean in the rain
            G#
Without her
            F#maj7
Its not the same, The same the same,
        G#
But its alright

                A#m7
Because heaven sends and heaven takes
          G#                         A#m7
Crashing cars in his brain Keep him tied
up to a dream
          G#
And only she can set him free
And then he says to me:

Chorus

  C         C#
Again and again
