[Opening]
I need a [Bb]sign to let me know you’re [Eb]here
All of these [Bb]lines are being crossed over the [Eb]atmosphere
I need to [Bb]know that things are gonna look [Eb]up
‘Cause I feel us [Bb]drowning in a sea slipped from a [Eb]cup
And [Ab]there is no place safe and no safe place to put my head
And you can feel the world shake from the words that I said.
[verse 2]
And [Bb]I [Ab] [Eb]I’m calling all [Bb]angels, [Ab] [Eb]and I I’m calling all you angels
[Ab]I won’t give up you don’t give up, [Bb]I won’t give up you don’t give up
[Cm]I won’t give up you don’t give up, [Db]I won’t give up you don’t give up
[verse 3]
I need a [Bb]sign to let me know you’re [Eb]here
‘Cause my [Bb]TV set just keeps it all from being [Eb]clear
I want a [Bb]reason for the way things have to [Eb]be
I need a [Bb]hand to help me love some kind of hope inside of [Eb]me
[chorus]
And [Bb]I [Ab] [Eb]I’m calling all [Bb]angels, [Ab] [Eb]and I I’m calling all you angels
[Closing]
When [Ab]children have to play inside so they don’t disappear
And private [Bb]eyes saw marriage lines cuz we don’t talk free
And [Cm]football teams are kissing queens and losing sight of having dreams
In a [Db]world where all we want is only what we want until it’s ours
[chorus]
[Ab]
And [Bb]I [Ab] [Eb]I’m calling all [Bb]angels, [Ab] [Eb]and I I’m calling all you angels
