The Angel Of 8Th Ave

Intro G#m B E G#m B E G#m B E G#m B E [Verse 1] B So we got straight to the heart E And I was a coward and worse to my shame I fell hard upon the weightless weeks B But wasted every day ‘Til you emerged in the park E Like some patron of Washington Square For the first time in a long time B Inside everything stood clear So went out to find me a job E But I didn't think I would hold this one down It gives the same old sinking feeling B Of fucking hammers in my bowels But you are good to me still E And when my old man was near to the end You loved his broken body In thе same way that I did Chorus G#m B E I wanna lay me down G#m And be lovеr of the year B E In this strange new town G#m B This strange hemisphere [Verse 2] B God, it was state of the art E You called each of my sorrows by name And a tide of tender mercies B Shook my body from the grave And in the festival years E Of our makeshift parade In perpetual fall B And immeasurable rain I wanna see this one out E And I wanna join the impossible swing And fall hard beside you B Screaming at the bowels of everything And in the Islington morn E You're the angel of 8th And what's more, the goddamn greatest thing That Laney ever made Chorus G#m B E I wanna lay me down G#m And be lover of the year B E And in this strange new town G#m This strange hemisphere B E You persuade me now G#m To look closer in the mirror B E And I wanna lay me down G#m For years and years and years and years [Instrumental] B E B E B E B Outro B Ah, there's heaven in you now Ah, there's heaven in you now E Ah, there's heaven in you now Ah, there's heaven in you now B There is heaven in you now Ah, there's heaven in you now E Ah, there's heaven in you now Ah, there's heaven in you now B There is heaven in you now Ah, there's heaven in you now E Ah, there's heaven in you now Ah, there's heaven in you now B Ah, there's heaven in you now There is heaven in you now Now, now
