Angel — Matt Nathanson
Chords and lyrics for Angel by Matt Nathanson (key of C).
Verse 1
~~~Verse
[G]You sounded so good on the [Cadd9]phone
All moved up and all moved [G]on
Me and gravity we [Dsus]never could agree
[G]I can almost see the [Cadd9]sky
When I need to close my [G]eyes
You're the only thing that's [Dsus]worth holding on to
~~~Chorus
[G]Angel you sing about [Dsus]beautiful things
And [Em7]all I want to do is [Cadd9]believe
I [G]traded my dreams for this [Dsus]mess of memories
And [Em7]they just stopped working for [Cadd9]me
~~~Interlude (see bottom)
~~~Verse
[G]I'm not a monster I [Cadd9]believe
Like a liar would [G]believe
Helps me navigate the [Dsus]wooden smiles, the raging sea
[G]All my heroes pull their [Cadd9]heads
Like a fighter would I [G]guess
No one really ever [Dsus]likes getting older
~~~Chorus
[G]Angel you sing about [Dsus]beautiful things
And [Em7]all I want to do is [Cadd9]believe
I [G]traded my dreams for this [Dsus]mess of memories
And [Em7]they just stopped working for [Cadd9]me
~~~Interlude (see bottom)
This is the interlude after the chorus.
Shift the basic structure of the C chord up two frets and use the index
finger to hold
the b and e strings on 3.
Note that during the verse, the song sounds fine with either the Dsus or a
Cadd9. I've
the song with either chord and no one notices anything wrong with the
music. I'm not
sure which one is correct, if anyone can point me in the right direction,

Also, if you are a beginner or don't know too many chords, these chords
aren't too hard.
Just play the standard chord and keep your ring and pinky fingers on the
3rd frets of
e and b strings.
