Cry Like An Angel

Written by Shawn Colvin/John Leventhal

	  		C                                        F                        
The streets of my town are not what they were 
                   C      F                
They are haloed in anger, bitter and hurt 
         C                                       F 
And it's not so you'd notice but it's a sinister thing 
F                      C           F        C   F 
Like the wheels of ambition at the christening 
C                                           F                         
So I went out walking on the streets of the dead 
                  C                     
With a chip on my shoulder 
      F            G                    
And a voice in my head 
    C                      
It said you have been brought here 
                           F                   
Though you don't know what for 
                 C               F               
Well the mystery train is coming right to your door 
               G  C/G                     G       C/G                  
And I hear you calling, you don't have to call so loud 
          G   C/G                       G       F   
I see you falling and you don't have to walk so proud 
        C/G                                F                    
You can run all night but we can take you where 
        C                    F    C   F      
You can cry like an angel 
C 
There were high school night dances 
                         F                     
When we played stump the band 
                     C     F            G           
We were raising each other in a strange land 
           Am                   
There were hard pills to swallow 
                     F                        
But we drank 'em all down 
                       C              
Oh the nights were too short then 
                  F    
And now they're a little too long 
           G    C/G                      G       C/G         
I hear you calling and you don't have to call so loud 
          G     C/G                     G       F             
I see you falling and you don't have to walk so proud 
        C/G                                F                  
You can run all night but we can take you where 
        C                     
You can shout out in anger 
                          
You can laugh like a fool 
                           F    
You can cry like an angel 
 
G Dm  Am  F  G  Dm  F  G 
 
    C                            
So look homeward baby 
                      F                          
Keep your eyes on the sky 
                   C              
They will never forgive you 
    F                G                         
So don't ask them to try 
C                                        F          
This is your party, I know it's not your ideal 
                  C                    
May we all find salvation 
   F                        
In professions that heal 
           C/G                        Bb                     
I hear you calling, you don't have to call so loud 
          C/G                           G       F       
I see you falling and you don't have to walk so proud 
        C/G                                 F                    
You can run all night but we  can take you where 
        C                     
You can shout out an answer 
                          
You can laugh like a fool 
                          
You can call up to heaven 
         G            C/G                 
We'll be listening to you 
             C                   
You can sing hallelujah 
                           
You can fly like a bird 
                       F                        C  F     
You can cry like angel when there are no words
