[F#m] Angel of rest
[E] [F#m]
[E] [F#m] [D]
[A] He [E] [Bm]
was moving
And that was when [C#] he could have [E] sworn
The room wasn't [F#m] moving
But [Bm]
that was [C#] only in his [E] mind
He was sailing
[Bm]
He never [C#] really seemed to notice
[E] His own feeling
[F#m] [Bm] That was [C#] all part of the high
[Bm] The sweat was pouring
He [A] couldn't take it
The [G] room was exploding
He [C#] might not make it
[F#m] [Bm] Please, [C#] children would you [F#m] listen
Just [Bm]
to stay [C#m] where you stand
[F#m] [D]
You won't remember what you're missing
But down some dead end [C#] streets
There ain't no [F#] turning [E] back
[F#m]
[Bm] [C#] [F#m]
[Bm] [C#] [F#m] They was standing
[C#m] [Bm]
Everybody [C#m] in a circle
[F#m] The whole family
[D] Listening [C#] to the preacher's words
He [F#m] was crying
[Bm] She [C#] alone held the [F#m] secret
About his dying
[Bm] Tears [C#] falling to earth
[Bm] She was living her cause
[F#m] She was so trusting
[D] God only knew why
They [F#m] were just saying
[A#m] [F#m] [Bm] Please, gonna be [C#m] the death of you [F#m] children
[D#] Just [Bm]
stay [C#m] where you stand
[A] You [B] [D] won't [C#] remember what you're missing
But [Bm] down some dead end [C#] streets
There [F#m] ain't no [E] turning back
[F#m] Believe [D]
[C#] me, [F#m] sister
Don't [D] mean nobody [C#] no good
[F#m] The [Bm]
[C#] [F#m] [D]
[C#] [F#m] [D]
[C#] [F#m] [D]
[C#] sweat [Bm] was pouring
He [F#m] couldn't take it
[F#] The room [D] was exploding
He might [C#] not make [C#m] it
[F#m] [D]
Children, it's hard [C#] to [F#m] listen
I [Bm] ain't trying to run [A] your [C#m] life
[A] Might [D] just seem like one more [C#] good time
But down [D] some [C#] dead end streets
There ain't [A] no turning [C] back
[A] Please, [Bm] children, I know it's hard [F#m] to listen
But I [G] ain't trying [F#m] to run your life
Believe me, don't mean [D] nobody [Em] no good
[C#] Nowhere in down [D] some dead end streets
[C#] There [F#m] ain't no turning [Bm] back
Back [A] to back or away from it
[D] Children, [C#] would you [F#m] listen to me
I'm a woman no child no need
[B]
