Intro
[Em] [D] [C] [G] [D] [C] [D] [Em]
Verse
When the [Em]evening, like a [D]sparrow, folds down [C]under it's small [G]wings
All the [Em]light bones and the [D]feathers of the [C]day[D]
Only [C]then, in that [G]moment, stop the [D]rushing and just hold [G]me
Lay your [C]hands where it [G]hurts and we'll [D]leave it that [G]way
Interlude
[G]Ooh [D]ooh, [C]oooh, ooh [G]ooh ooh [D]ooh[Em]
Verse
Well, I have [Em]often dreamt of [D]angels, but I [C]very rarely see [G]them
But I [Em]know that they've been [D]this way, [C]something smells like [D]sky
In the [C]rustle of their [G]presence, it's a [D]lot like your [G]breathing
Sounds a [C]lot like a [G]promise, but I [D]can't say [G]why
Interlude
[G]Ooh [D]ooh, [C]oooh, ooh [G]ooh ooh [D]ooh[Em]
Bridge
And I have [D]searched all the [Bm]wise and the [Em]unwise [C]places
I have [G]known the price of [G/B]passion and what [D]solitude buys
It was you I was [Bm]looking for in [Em]all those [C]faces
Always you I was [G]hoping for when I [D]closed my [G]eyes
Verse
Well, I will [Em]gather all the [D]feathers that collect [C]up in the corners[G]
All the [Em]risings and the [D]fallings in the [C]quiet of the day[D]
When you [C]speak, there's a [G]flutter of some [D]winged thing [G]stirring
Lay your [C]head on my [G]heart and we'll [D]leave it that [G]way
Outro
[G]Ooh [D]ooh, [C]oooh, ooh [G]ooh ooh [D]ooh[Em]
Ooh [D]ooh, [C]oooh, ooh [G]ooh ooh [D]ooh[Em]
