Angel of rest

[E] Angel [F#] of rest
[Bm]
Angel [F#m] of rest
[Bm]
[F#] He was moving
[Bm] And that was when he could have sworn
The [F#] room was moving
[Bm] But that was only in his mind
[F#] He was sailing
[Bm] He never really seemed to notice
[F#m] His own feeling
[Bm] That was all part of the high
The sweat was pouring
He [F#m] couldn't take it
The [Bm] room was exploding
He [C#] might not make it
[F#] [Bm] Please, children would you [F#m] listen
Just [Bm] to just think where's that
[F#m] Angel of rest
You [Bm] won't remember what you're missing
But down some dead end streets
There ain't no [E] turning back
[F#] [Bm]
[C#] [F#m] [Bm]
[C#] [F#m] They was standing
[Bm] Everybody in a circle, the [F#m] whole family
[Bm] Listening [C#] to the preacher's words, he [F#m] was crying
[Bm] She alone held the [F#m] secret about his [E] dying
[Bm] Tears falling to earth
The living her father
He [F#m] was so trusting
[Bm] God only knew why
But [C#] they were just in
[F#m] Please, [Bm] don't be the death of me, [F#m] children
[Bm] Just think where's that
[F#m] You [Bm] won't [C#] remember what you're missing
But [Bm] down some dead end streets
There ain't no [E] turning back
Back, back, [F#m] back
[Bm]
[C#] Believe me [F#m] sister
Don't [Bm] mean nobody no [C#] good, no good

[C#] [Bm] Sweat was pouring

[C#m] [F#m] [Bm] Please, children it's hard to listen
[F#m] But I [Bm] ain't trying to run your life
[F#m] Might [Bm] just seem like one more good time
But down some dead end streets
There ain't no [E] turning back
[F#m] Please, [B] children know it's hard to [F#m] listen
But I ain't [Bm] trying to [A] run your life
[F#m] Don't [Bm] mean nobody no good, no good
