VERSE 1:
 A minorAm               Fmaj7Fmaj7
I meet them in the truckstops, I meet them in the bars
 G+G                  FF
I meet them in the parking lots and I slip into their cars
   A minorAm                 Fmaj7Fmaj7
They come and put their money down, they come and place their bets
 G+G                FF
I swallow their indifference,but I choke on my regrets


INTERLUDE:
A minorAm Fmaj7Fmaj7 Gsus4Gsus4 G+G A minorAm


VERSE 2:
  A minorAm               Fmaj7Fmaj7
Sometimes they ask me questions sometimes they treat me nice
G+G                FF
You don't know what you'll get until you roll the dice
     A minorAm           Fmaj7Fmaj7
You're a loser or a winner here, predator or prey
  G+G                FF
I'm still not sure which one I am or how I got this way


CHORUS:
     FF        C majorC
And it's hard to hear the angels
G+G         A minorAm
Over the diesels’ hum
   FF           C majorC
But I know they're out there singing
     G+G           DmDm
And I'll know them when they come
     FF       C majorC
And I'll rise above the neon
G+G           A minorAm
Above this trailer park
  G+G                 FF
And fly like a truckstop angel with an arrow through my heart

INTERLUDE:
A minorAm Fmaj7Fmaj7 Gsus4Gsus4 G+G A minorAm


VERSE 3:
     A minorAm              Fmaj7Fmaj7
There's a big sky up above me there's a wasteland down below
     G+G                  FF
There's a long black snake of highway take you where you wanna go
  A minorAm               Fmaj7Fmaj7
One day I'm gonna leave here, gonna hit my lucky streak
   G+G                 FF
Gonna spread my gorgeous wings and fly above all this concrete


CHORUS:
     FF        C majorC
And it's hard to hear the angels
G+G         A minorAm
Over the diesels’ hum
   FF           C majorC
But I know they're out there singing
     G+G           DmDm
And I'll know them when they come
     FF       C majorC
And I'll rise above the neon
G+G           A minorAm
Above this trailer park
  G+G                 FF
And fly like a truckstop angel with an arrow through my heart
