[Verse 1]
G              Em7
So high above the world tonight
Eb                     Cm
the angels watch us sleeping
G              Em7
and underneath a bridge of stars
Eb                     Cm
we dream in safety's keeping.

[Verse 2]
G                     Em7
But perhaps the dream is dreaming us
Eb                  Cm
soaring with the seagulls
G                     Em7
but perhaps the dream is dreaming us
Eb                     Cm
astride the backs of eagles.

[Chorus]
Gm
When the angels fall
D
shadows on the wall
F
in the thunder's call
C
something haunts us all.
Eb                   Gm
When the angels fall,
Eb                   Gm
when the angels fall.

[Verse 3]
G                          Em7
Take your father's cross, gently from the wall
Eb                  Cm
the shadow still remaining
G                     Em7
see the churches fall in mighty arcs of sound
Eb                     Cm
and all that they're containing.

[Verse 4]
G                        Em7
Yet all the ragged souls of all the ragged men
Eb                  Cm
looking for, their lost homes
G                     Em7
shuffle to the ruins, from the levelled plain
Eb                  Cm
to search among the tombstones.

[Chorus]
Gm
When the angels fall
D
shadows on the wall
F
in the thunder's call
C
something haunts us all.
Eb                   Gm
When the angels fall,
Eb                   Gm
when the angels fall,
Eb                   Gm
when the angels fall.

[Bridge]
G
These are my feet,
F
these are my hands,
Dsus
these are my children, and this is my demand.

G
Bring down the angels,
F
cast them from my sight,
Dsus
I never want to see, a million suns at midnight.

C
Your hands are empty,
Dsus
the streets are empty,
                                              G      Em
You can't control us, You can't control us, anymore.

[Outro]
C                G     Em
When the angels fall,
C                G     Em
when the angels fall,
C                G     Em
when the angels fall,
C                G     Em
when the angels fall.

C                G              Em
When the angels fall (peace on earth)
C                G                       Em
when the angels fall (million suns at midnight)
C                G     Em
when the angels fall
C                G     Em
When the angels fall…
