D Em7 A7
There'll be no strings to bind your hands,
G A9 D Em7 F#m7 G A9
Not if my love can't bind your heart.
D Em7 A7
And there's no need to take a stand,
G A9 D Em7 F#m7 G A9
For it was I who chose to start.
Em7 A7 A7sus4 A7
I see no need to take me home;
Em7 A7
I'm old enough to face the dawn.
Refrain:
D Bm7 A7 G A7
Just call me angel of the morning, An - gel,
D Bm7 A7 G A7
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, ba - by.
D Bm7 A7 G A7
Just call me angel of the morning, An - gel,
G G/F# Em G/B D Em7 F#m7 G A9 D Em7 A7 G A9
Then slowly turn away from me.
D Em7 A7
Maybe the sun's light will be dim
G A9 D Em7 F#m7 G A9
And it won't matter an - y - how.
D Em7 A7
If morning's echo says we've sinned...
G A9 D Em7 F#m7 G A9
Well, it was what I wanted now.
Em7 A7 Em7 A7
And if we're the victims of the night, I won't be blinded by light.
