Intro: A - D (2X) A  E  F#m  D 
 
F#m             D 
Today I saw the sun 
         F#m                     D 
To rise, to fall, but can you forgive me 
       F#m               D 
I sail upon this mortal storm 
                F#m                D 
And hearts that cry and love is to leave me 
 
             D 
We're miles apart 
                 A 
I know my aim is true 
                          E 
It keeps this flame from dying 
             A 
I just stay alive 
 
         E 
Angel of mercy 
                      F#m  F#m7 
I know that I'll find you 
        D            F#m           Bm 
So it's to my God in heaven that I pray 
Bm7       A 
We can fly away 
 
Solo: E - F#m - F#m7 
 
         D             F#m            Bm 
So it's shining in the darkness of my day 
Bm7        A 
We can fly away 
 
 
    F#m             D 
The voice is on the wind 
            F#m                      D 
I steal the stars, the course I must follow 
            F#m                D 
No space or time, no sleep the soul 
        F#m                    D 
It lies awake, it craves to be near you 
 
             D 
It drives me on 
                 A 
I know my aim is true 
                       E 
It keeps my flame from dying 
                A 
We might live again 
 
 
          E 
Angel of mercy 
                F#m        F#m7 
I know that I'll find you 
        D            F#m           Bm 
So it's to my God in heaven that I pray 
Bm7        A 
We can fly away 
 
 
A 
Write a letter in the sand 
     D 
That only lovers understand 
    A 
And when the words are said and done 
     D 
That we must come together 
 
          E 
Angel of mercy 
                F#m        F#m7 
I know that I'll find you 
        D            F#m           Bm 
So it's to my God in heaven that I pray 
Bm7        A 
We can fly away 
 
 
A 
Sailing on a sea of gold 
       D 
Where silver wings of angels go 
A 
I can see a million miles 
     D 
That love goes on forever 
 
A 
Write a letter in the sand 
     D 
That only lovers understand 
    A 
And when the words are said and done 
     D 
That we must come together 
 
A 
Sailing on a sea of gold 
      D 
Where silver wings of angels go 
A 
I can see a million miles 
     D                          A 
That love goes on forever.
