[1] Sitting on the back porch
my [4] head in my [^b7] hands
And I'm [5] trying to [1] understand
[1] How to deal with a woman
Who's [4] perfect in every [^b7] way except for [5] one
She don't love this [1] man

Her eyes shine like diamonds
Her hair black as coal
When she smiles I get weak in the knees
I'm in love with an angel
no one can disagree
But this angel ain't in love with me

[4] If I spend another night without [1] sleeping
[4] I think I'm [^b3] goin' [5] insane
The [1] love that sustained me has [4] faded [^b7] away
And my [5] tears are falling like [1] rain

She swore she would love me
Til death did us part
When I placed a golden ring on her hand
But her gaze towards another
Brought rage to my heart
Now she's sleeping peace beneath the sand

Well I'm locked in a small room
with time on my hands
And I'm trying to understand
How my love for an angel
Could cause so much pain
Misery for this heartbroken man
