(G) I'd give a lifetime baby 
(Am) To see you smile 
(G) If you could give your troubles over 
(Am) For just a little while 
(G) And (C)look at the (D)truth 
(G) It's right (C)here staring at (D)you 
Oh, (Am)angels (Em)bow when you walk (D)by 
(Am) And the rest of us (Em)here have always known (D)why 
 
Chorus: 
 
Cause the (G)soul (C)takes it's (D)blows and it does not re-(G)veal 
And the (C)heart opens (D)slow and it takes time to (Am)heal 
But you can let (C)go, It'll all turn to (D)gold 
My sweet child of (G)steel  (C) (D)   (G)  (C) (D) 
 
(G) And I watch you walk through fire 
(Am) When clear water runs near 
(G) I watch your heart break open wide 
(Am) A heart I hold so dear 
(G) But (C)look at the (D)truth 
(G) It could burn a (C)hole right through (D)you 
Oh, (Am)angels (Em)bow and cover their (D)eyes 
(Am) And the rest of us (Em)here could just break down and (D)cry
