G                                     D
Run, run, river, carry me home to the ocean
     D                                       G
The river and the road, take me home to the ocean
    G                                                         D
The friends in my life, like stars in the sky leave the lights on
    D                                                           G
I'm trying to get back home, the river keeps on flowing to the ocean

Chorus:
     G                                                D
The angels above me, they sing that they love me, oh Lord
     D                                     G
I'm traveling alone, so far from home and love
         G                            D
Oh, the angels, angels, please don't leave
    D                                                       G
I'm trying to get to her with the love she deserves, Lord, please

          G                                                   D
I've been playing my guitar, laying underneath the stars for you
        D                                                    G
In the light of the moon, I'll be forever singing tunes for you
          G                                                         D
When the stars are aligned like the colors in your eyes, greens and blues
     D                                                    G
It's not when or whether, we'll always be together, it's true

Chorus:
     G                                                D
The angels above me, they sing that they love me, oh Lord
     D                                     G
I'm traveling alone, so far from home and love
         G                            D
Oh, the angels, angels, please don't leave
    D                                                       G
I'm trying to get to her with the love she deserves, Lord, please

Bridge:
    C                                       G            D
And sometimes, I feel like my heart's gonna burst at the seams
    C                                         G          D
And sometimes, I think it's just love that we want or we need
    C                                 G              D
And sometimes, I feel like I'm living too much in my dreams
    C                                 G            D
And sometimes,                    oh Lord, let me be, let me be, oh

        G                                                          D
Are you feeling like I'm feeling? Searching for the meaning of it all
  D                                                  G
I spend all my days trying to make some sense of it all
    G                                               D
The ocean and the seas and the windblown trees are changing
         D                                    G
And your love for me is all I need to keep believing

Chorus:

The angels above me, they sing that they love me, oh Lord
     D                                     G
I'm traveling alone, so far from home and love
         G                            D
Oh, the angels, angels, please don't leave
    D                                                       G
