[G] [A]
[G] Walking around [Bm] like I'm in a trance
[G] Thinking I lost you to [A] circumstance
[G] Feeling the weight [Bm] as the world pulls me down
[G] While my heart and my [A] head spin around
[G] [C]
[D] [G] [D]
[G] Staying alone on [Bm] top of a hill
[G] Then one day [A] I lost my will
[G] Thought I was drowning in [Bm] the sea of loneliness
[G] Couldn't hear a sound [A] through the road of the emptiness
So I [C] listen in the [D]
distance
The [C] voices that I [D] hear
Sound [C] like half a million [D] angels
[G] Singing very [D]
clear
[Bm]
[D] [G] Even if they can't [A] give me strength
Or [Bm] help me make it [G]
through
[C] Half a million [D]
angels
Will [C] never take the place of [D] you

[G] [A]
[D] [G] think about you nearly [Bm] all the time
[G] Sometimes your presence [A] is so defined
[G] Whether you're near or [Bm] far away
[G] Makes no difference in [A] my heart to stay
So I [C] listen in the [D]
distance
[C] The voices [G] that I hear
[D] Sound [C] like half a million [D] angels
[Bm] Singing [D] very clear
[Bm] [G]
[D] [G] Even if they can't give [A] me strength
Or help [Bm] me make it [G] through
