[Intro]
D5      G5  N.C.

[Verse 1]
D5
Screaming out alone in the night
D5
Just a time and place
         Bb5    A5
But it's real alright
       D5
We are diamonds that
shine without fire
We're climbing the stairs,
      G5
going down
    Bb5      A5
And never higher
             D5
We're fallen Angels

[Verse 2]
D5
You know something came
D5
To me in a dream
D5
The crack of a gun
      Bb5    D5
And a bloody scream
D5
Then I could see the faces and
D5
Why I was holding the gun
        G5      Bb5     A5
And the world began to die
           D5
For fallen Angels,
             F5 D5
falling down
D5
Fallen Angels,
                   Bb5
come gather round

By you, fallen Angels
