 I feel almost privileged to be able to play this song??as it is an
 absolute masterpiece!!! ?.the roses best?.(almost)!!
 It looks a lot harder than it is so just play about with the
 harder chord sequences until u get the hang of the changes.
 It sounds ssssoooooo good played electric or electro-accoustic
 but is still good on a battered £30 argos special!!!!
 ANYWAY NUFF SAID???????..NJOY!!!
 
 Any changes or alterations or questions to

 You should have been an angel, it would have suited you,
        Dsus2               A                Dsus2        Asus2 E5 E5 
 My gold leafed triptych angel, she knows just what to do.
           E                              E7sus4            A 
 In the half light of morning, in a world between the sheets,
    Dsus2                A                      Asus2 E5 E5 Dsus2 
 I swear I saw her angel wing, my vision was complete.
 
            Dsus2                  Asus2             E5 E5 
 And I know I??ll never want another lover, my sweet.
                 Dsus2           
 Can there be more in this world,
 Asus2 B5alt
 Than the joy of just watching you sleep?
 
 I don??t know just what to feel,
                                E       E7sus4 
 Won??t someone tell me my love is real?

 E                     Dsus2                          
 Are we etched in stone or just scratched in the sand,
 A                                    D    A         E 
 Waiting for the waves to come and re-claim the land.
 E                       Dsus2               
 Will the sun shine, all sweetness and light,
 A Dsus2 Asus2 E 
     

 Burn us to a cinder, our third stone sat---e---lite.
 

 
        E               Dsus2               
 I??m on a tightrope, baby, nine miles high,
 A                               Dsus2          E    
 Striding through the clouds on my ribbon in the sky.
        E                     Dsus2               
 I??m on a tightrope, baby, one thing I??ve found,
 A                                     
 I don??t know how to stop, and it??s a
 G        Bm   E5                
 Long, long, long, long way down.
 
 E D A E E5 E5 
       
 
          E5                       Dsus2              
 She??s all that ever mattered and all that ever will,
        A                       Dsus2  Asus2  E  
 My cup it runneth over, I??ll never get my fill.
         E                          Dsus2        
 The boats in the harbour slip from their chains,
 A                        Dsus2 Asus2  E     
 Head for new horizons, lets do the  same.
 
        E               Dsus2               
 I??m on a tightrope, baby, nine miles high,
 A                               Dsus2          E    
 Striding through the clouds on my ribbon in the sky.
        E                     Dsus2               
 I??m on a tightrope, baby, one thing I??ve found,
   A                       
 I don??t know how to stop,
 
                 E              Dsus2         
 And it??s a tightrope, baby, nine miles high,
 A                               Dsus2          E    
 Striding through the clouds on my ribbon in the sky.
        E                     Dsus2               
 I??m on a tightrope, baby, one thing I??ve found,
 A                                     
 I don??t know how to stop, and it??s a
 G        Bm   E5                
 Long, long, long, long way down.
