capo on 1st freet, key of C#)
C
Thought I was falling into a d-e-e-p depression
Thinking all the mystery was all gone
Like I was falling into the deep of a grand canyon
From the side of a mountain I was hanging on
F
But now I’m coming up for air
Em
I see my angel on the sand
F
She’s running out to meet me
G7
In the waves of the of the Rio Grande
C
And it’s joy, honey, pure joy ah ahah
C
Pure joy just to see you again
C
Thought my heart was in a r-u-t of recession
All the colors I had seen had faded into the black
Like I was falling fast to the bottom of the ocean
And just my luck my hands were all chained up behind my back
F
But now I’m coming up for air
Em
I see my angel on the sand
F
She’s running out to meet me
G7
To save me again
