F        C              Dm         C
I'm your angel when it rains, dear
F      C       Dm     C
Heaven picks the place
F       C          Dm     C
I'm a child in that way, dear
F     C       Dm  C
Please do it again

Chorus:
 F    C       Dm
Hey Rosey, I think
    C                 F      C Dm C
I know just what the feeling is

I was hoping you wouldn't see me like this
I hate to fall before your feet again
I'm the rocks they weigh down the angels with
Help me see it won't always be like this

Chorus - x2

You said you got to let me escape myself
You said I don't know how not
to want something else
If I held your hand again,
would you be here down on your knees like this?

Chorus - x2

I will love you like there's razors in it
And she'll love you like a radiant flame
There's never really any safety in it
Please do it again
There's never really any safety in it
