Verse 1:
D/AD/A F# minorF#m
There’s an angel in the window
B minorBm D/AD/A F# minorF#m
On a West Virginia church door swinging open
G+G F#4 F#F#
And he’s pointing to the exit sign
D/AD/A F# minorF#m
Said you’ll never walk on water
B minorBm D/AD/A F# minorF#m
If you wait until the river’s frozen over
G+G F#4 F#F#
In the Shenandoah summer

BB G#m7G#m7
Well it was almost heaven

Almost heaven
D#m7D#m7 C#4 C#C#
Lovers laying side by side but

When we reach forever

Verse 2:
D/AD/A F# minorF#m
So I keep a candle burning
B minorBm D/AD/A F# minorF#m
And I pray to see that saint I knew for certain
G+G F#4 F#F#
But it’s just my own reflection now
D/AD/A F# minorF#m
And that silhouette in the window
B minorBm D/AD/A F# minorF#m
Is the shape of someone I don’t quite remember
G+G F#4 F#F#
Dancing in the fire
