[Intro]
 
C Fmaj7 C
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
         C           Dm7              F
Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
         C                F       G
For the break that would make it okay
                       Dm7          F
There's always some reason to feel not good enough
         C            F          G
And it's hard at the end of the day
                Dm7          F
I need some distraction, a beautiful release
C         F            G
Memories seep from my veins
            Dm7           F
Let me be empty, oh and weightless, and maybe
     C          F      G
I'll find some peace tonight
 
 
[Chorus]
 
         C      Fmaj7     C  Fmaj7    Em
In the arms of the angel, fly away from here
           F                              C                   G
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
           C           Fmaj7        C      Fmaj7     Em
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
                F                        C  G  C  Fmaj7  C
You're in the arms of the angel, may you find some comfort here.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
                    Dm7               F
So tired of this straight line, and everywhere you turn
           C             F            G
There's vultures and theives at your back
                     Dm7                  F
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies
           C          F           G
That you make up for all that you lack.
                    Dm7            F
It don't make no difference, escaping one last time
    C     F        G
It's easier to believe
                 Dm7             F
In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness
      C        F       G
That brings me to my knees.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
        C       Fmaj7     C  Fmaj7      Em
In the arms of the angel, fly away from here
            F                              C                    G
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
           C           Fmaj7        C       Fmaj7     Em
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
                F                            C G C Fmaj7 C
You're in the arms of the angel, may you find some comfort here.

Can you tell which comments are made men>? Just sayin’

Yes, capo on first Loserkid. First chord is a C# on the recording. My only suggestions: Instead of F and G for the end of each line would be to play Fmaj7 as shown in tabs BUT w/o the open "E" string (see PS at end of comment)and then to G7 bar chord strummed only up to D note/B string. You can use a finger from your right hand (I use the pinky) to mute the high "E" string which helps you get a good follow through w/o risk of ringing too high in the register. Long deliberate strums make this one stand out and follow through really does give it a little extra feeling to the chords. P.S. I know that it becomes an F this way, but I say Fmaj7 only for the sake of fingering idea.
