Verse 1
Last [G]night before I went to sleep my [C]knees dropped to the floor
I turned me eyes up [G]to the sky and I prayed "Please help me, [D7]Lord,
You [G]know I've sowed my wild oats and [C]now the fun's all gone"
And then I heard these [G]tender words and I [D7]put them in my [G]song:
Chorus
[G]Infamous Angel come on [C]home
To someone who [G]loves you and knows you needed to [D7]roam
[G]Grab your things, a ticket's waiting [C]at the bus depot
For: Infamous [G]Angel, [D7]Destination: [G]Home
Verse 2
I heard [G]heaven's choir rejoicing as the [C]tears broke from my eyes
And all at once it [G]lifted the weight from my past [D7]life
I [G]found a pen and I left a note [C]on the dresser drawer
"Infamous [G]Angel, she don't [D7]live here [G]anymore"
Chorus
[G]Infamous Angel come on [C]home
To someone who [G]loves you and knows you needed to [D7]roam
[G]Grab your things, a ticket's waiting [C]at the bus depot
For: Infamous [G]Angel, [D7]Destination: [G]Home

Verse 3
Then I [G]hurried out the back door as [C]quickly as I could
I went flying down two [G]flights of stairs 'til on the street I [D7]stood
And [G]there I took that final look at [C]my old neighborhood
Then I ran down the street [G]proclaiming [D7]"Angel gone for [G]good"
