[Verse 1]
     D            F#m  Em               A
    Banners fall,      held a long time
         D            F#m  Em             A
    The birds are all     hanging on the line for you
D           A        G
    But I'm on your side


[Instrumental]
| A7 | A7 | A7 | A7 |


[Verse 2]
        D            F#m    Em             A
    He looks like me,    or how I used to be
          D              F#m     Em                  A
    And that's one thing     I should've known it'd come down to
Bm          A        G
    But I'm on your side

    Hmm


[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Em             A           D                 G
    There's a halo that'll always hold its shape
Em              A                  D
    That's the core I'm leaning on
Em         A            Bm        A       G
    Who am I to keep a smile from   your face
               D
    If he's an angel?
            A              D
    He's an angel, he's an angel


[Verse 3]
     D    F#m   Em            A
    Hours crawl in a single frame
             D        F#m  Em               A
    The rest   is all      tattered up and held from view
D           A        G
    And I'm on your side


[Instrumental]
| A7 | A7 |


[Verse 4]
     A7          D     F#m    Em               A
    Long, long, long afloat until your singing eyes
         D     F#m   Em             A
    And mine enfold long enough to hold on to
Bm          A        G
    And I'm on your side


[Instrumental]
| Em | Em |


[Chorus]
Em             A           D                 G
    There's a halo that'll always hold its shape
Em              A                  D
    That's the core I'm leaning on
Em         A            Bm     A        G
    Who am I to keep a smile from your face
               D
    If he's an angel?
            A              D
    He's an angel, he's an angel
