Verse 1:
           G                        Bm
You got to leave me now, you got to go alone,
           G                         Bm
You got to chase a dream, one that's all your own
  A              G
Before it slips away.
            G                     Bm
When you're flyin' high, take my heart along,
            G                Bm
I'll be the harmony to every lonely song
A                 G
That you learn to play.

Chorus 1:
G                               D    G                   D
When you're soarin' through the air,  I'll be your solid ground
G                      D   A                Bm
 Take every chance you dare,  I'll still be there
A                  G
When you come back down,
                   D
When you come back down.

Solo: G Bm G Bm A G

Verse 2:
           G                   Bm
I'll keep lookin' up, awaitin' your return,
           G                           Bm
My greatest fear will be that you will crash and burn,
  A                 G
And I won't feel your fire.
           G                       Bm
I'll be the other hand that always holds the line
           G                     Bm
Connectin' in between your sweet heart and mine,
  A                   G
I'm strung out on that wire.

Chorus 2:

G                        D     G                   D
And I'll be on the other end, To hear you when you call
                         (Riff C----------------->)
G                       D   A               Bm
Angel, you were born to fly, If you get too high
                         (Riff D)
A                       G
I'll catch you when you fall
                          (Riff E)
                        D
I'll catch you when you fall

Solo: G Bm G Bm A G

Bridge:
     Bm
Your memory's the sunshine every new day brings,
                  F#m
I know the sky is calling,
G             D                  A
Angel, let me help you with your wings
