G#5              A5                E5             B5
Well I guess you left me with some feathers in my hand
Did it make it any easier to leave me where I stand?

*(Guitar 2 plays first three measures of intro)
I guess there might not be too many who would stand beside you now
Where'd you come from?     Where am I going?

          *(Guitar 2 plays fill 1)
Why'd you leave me 'till I'm only good for...

Chorus: (Guitars 1 & 2 play chords indicated)

E
Waiting for you

G#m    B
All my sins...
            F#m             A
I said that I would pay for them if I could
come back to you
All my innocence is wasted on the dead and dreaming


                                                  *(w/ fill 2)
Every night these silohuettes appear above my head
Little angels of the silences that climb into my bed and whisper

* (w/ first 3 measures of intro, then fill 1)
Every time I fall asleep    Every time I dream
"Did you come?  Would you lie?
Why'd you leave us 'till we're only good for...

I dream of Michelangelo when I'm lying in my bed

Little angels hang above my head and read me like an open book
Suck my blood   break my nerve   offer me their arms
Well, I will not be an enemy of anything
I'll only stand here
