Owl City - Angels

there are many videos of this song which require a capo on 3rd fret . however ,
these are not the original . for the original song , place a capo on the 1st fret .

also , please check out my cover on the song , performed on saxophone and acoustic guitar : )

intro : A – Em – G – D x2 ( wake me if you’re out there! )

verse :

A Bm G
through the glass in my bedroom window ,
( G )
in the bushes far below ,
A Bm G
i thought i saw an unfamiliar shadow ,
( G )
among the ones i so clearly know .

bridge :

Em G A
i’ve been sleeping with the nightlight unplugged ,
( A )
with a note on the rocking chair ,
Em G A
that says i’m dreaming of the life i once loved ,
( A )
so wake me if you’re out there .

chorus :

G A
living close to the ground ,
Bm E
it’s seventh heaven because there are angels all around ,
G A
among my frivolous thoughts ,
D G Em A
i believe there are beautiful things seen by the astronauts .
D G
so wake me if you’re out there!

( repeat intro , verse , bridge and chorus )

Bm A G
i keep my knees black and blue ’cause they often hit the hardwood floor ,
A
( wake me if you’re out there ) ,
Bm A G A
and i believe , so i’m not praying to the ceiling anymore .

( repeat bridge , and then play the chorus twice )

outro :

G A
so if you’re dying to see ,

( A ) D G Em A D . . . . ( hold )
i guarantee there are angels around your vicinity
