Angel



Intro



Em

I'm wishing the bathwater clean

G

She hides in the back and is unseen

Bm

I take off this mask that surrounds me

F#

Look me in the face, what do you see?

Em

I feel like a boy the age of 13

G

My body grows up

Bm

But my mind stays the same

F#                        F#  F#  F#

Look me in the face, what do you see?



VERSE 1



D                  F#

How do you tell an angel 

     Bm                    G

That you don't believe in God?

D                          F#

Why do I feel like such a stranger

   Bm                                    G

I look around, I look around, and all my friends are gone



CHORUS

                 D

But oh would you be me?

                F#

Because I would be you

            Bm

Oh you'd be happy

            G

Only if you wanted to

                  D

And how would you treat me?

                F#

Because I would treat you

            Bm

Oh you'd be happy

            G

Only if you wanted to



VERSE 2



How do you tell your Father,

That you want him to notice you?

Why does this seem like such a bother?

When mom says you'd be better off dead

But I want to see you

I still want to see you

Oh would you call me?

Oh it's not hard too

I'm the first one

Oh you gave birth to

And oh would you write me

On my birthday

Graduation, was yesterday

Yesterday

Oh...



VERSE 3



How do you hold the special victim?

When they push you away

When they've been

Raped on the inside

Torn on the outside

The dirt and ugly from the stain that they try to hide

Touched in private places

Embarrassed faces

To scared to ask for help



CHORUS



Oh would you be me?

Because I would be you

Oh you'd be happy

Only if you wanted to

And how would you treat me?

Because I would treat you

You'd be happy

Only if you wanted to



OUTRO (same chords as intro)



I'm wishing the bath water clean

She hides in the back and is unseen

I take off the mask that surrounds me

Look me in the face

What do you see
