INTRO:
A  D   A  D   A  D  E
Bm  E   Bm  E   Bm  E  A


VERSE:
 A                      D
For reasons that don’t matter,
       A                D
I was walking down an alley
 A              D                 E
With the music coming through a screen
     Bm              E
And without really thinking, I
       Bm              E
Walked over to the window
Bm                E              A
To what seemed reminds me of a dream


CHORUS:
          A              D
She was standing in the kitchen
          A                       D
With her face turned toward the ceiling
  A            D                   E
Eyes closed, still they held the light
     Bm                 E
And from a battered guitar
        Bm                     E
Came a sound like the angels weeping
Bm                     E              A
For all the restless spirits in the night


INSTRUMENTAL:
A  D   A  D   A  D  E
Bm  E   Bm  E   Bm  E  A


VERSE:
         A                D
I don’t know how long I stood there
  A                      D
Seemed like a many many lifetimes
 A               D                   E
Then I felt the load, just lifting away
     Bm               E
And walking down the alley, I
     Bm              E
Was feeling so much better
 Bm                E            A
Knew that I could take another day


CHORUS:
          A              D
She was standing in the kitchen
          A                       D
With her face turned toward the ceiling
  A                D                      E
Eyes closed, but still they held such a light
     Bm                 E
And from a battered guitar
        Bm                 E
Came a sound like angels weeping
Bm                     E              A
For all the restless spirits in the night

OUTRO:
       Bm                 E
Yeah, from a battered guitar
        Bm                     E
Came a sound like the angels weeping
Bm                     E              A    Bm  E   Bm  E
For all the restless spirits in the night

    Bm                 E              A
For all the restless spirits in the night
