        << Back to Sarah McLachlan Song List
Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4 Version 5 Version 6 Version 7 Version 8 Version 9 Version 10
            This are the exact chords I use for playing this song.
Yes I realized in the word "find" I put like 6 i's, but that's because she holds 
that note and to fit the chord change in there.
I personally love this song and I hope this helps =)
[[P.S. There's no intro because I think performing this song with just guitar and 
vocals it sounds better without an intro]]
[Verse 1]
                    Dm7              F
Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
        C/G                      G
For the break that would make it okay
                    Dm7            F
There's always some reason to feel not good enough
         C/G                    G
And it's hard at the end of the day
            Dm7              F
I need some distraction, oh, beautiful release
C/G                   G
Memories seep from my veins
          Dm7           F
Let me be empty, oh and weightless, and maybe
     C/G             G
I'll find some peace tonight
[Chorus]
       C/G                     Em
In the arms of the angel, fly away from here
          F                              C/G                  G
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
        C/G                             Em 
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
              F                          C/G    G               C/G
You're in the arms of the angel, may you fiiiiiind some comfort here.
[Verse 2]
                 Dm7                F
So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn
        C/G                          G
There's vultures and thieves at your back
                   Dm7                   F
The storm keeps on twistin', you keep on buildin' the lies
         C/G                      G
That you make up for all that you lack.
                 Dm7         F
It don't make no difference, escapin' one last time
     C/G       G
It's easier to believe
              Dm7              F
In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness
     C/G             G
That brings me to my knees.
[Chorus]
       C/G                     Em
In the arms of the angel, fly away from here
          F                              C/G                  G
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
        C/G                             Em 
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
              F                          C/G    G               C/G
You're in the arms of the angel, may you fiiiiiind some comfort here.
[Repeat last line]
              F                          C/B    G               F
You're in the arms of the angel, may you fiiiiiind some comfort hereeeee.
C/G - F - C/G - F 
End on C/G
