E Asus2 A C#m/A B
I sit and wait. Does an angel contemplate my fate?
E Asus2 A C#m/A B
And do they know the places where we go when we're grey and old?
F#m7 A C#m7 A
'Cos I've been told, that salvation lets their wings unfold
A/C# A
So when I'm lying in my bed, thoughts running through my head
E D A/C# E
And I feel that love is dead, I'm loving angels instead
B C#m
And through it all, she offers me protection,
A Asus2 E
A lot of love and affection, whether I'm right or wrong
B C#m
And down the waterfall, wherever it may take me
A Asus2 E/G#
I know that life won't break me, when I come to call
F#m Dadd2 A/C# E
She won't forsake me, I'm loving angels instead
(E) Asus2 A C#m/A B
When I'm feeling weak, and my pain walks down a one way street
E Asus2 A C#m/A B
I look above, and I know I'll always be blessed with love
D A/C# A
And as the feeling grows, she brings flesh to my bones
A Dadd2 E
And when love is dead, I'm loving angels instead

This solo 4 times. The last note (the 0) can also be played as a B on the D string (a 9) you'll have to see for yourself what's best.
You can even play the 11 on the G string as a 7 on the B string. You don't have to use the slide but it doesn't sound as good as the slide.
Playing order:
Verse one
Chorus
Verse two (drums enter)
Chorus
Solo
Chorus
The last note from the verse continues to the chorus until the B comes in. This last chord ( the E) is very nice if you play the lower strings so you get a very heavy sound.
