Am  F  Am  F
C  F  C  F

Verse:
C                  G           C        F
Caught between the air and the windless deep
    C     F      G    C
You float like a lily flower

And you look just like you fell to earth to sleep
               C   F        G      C
And you're waiting for your waking hour

Chorus:
      F        G            C                 F
And I swear to god I saw an angel hand attend you
    C                         F      G
But that was just the dancing of the light
   C           G            Am         F
No mortal or immortal did deliver or defend you
                  Dm7   G     C
All hands have forsaken you tonight

Verse:
                      G              C              F
Are you dreaming of a lover who will carry you away?
             C        F      G      C
And keep you from the crying of the crowd?
                 G               C               F
No cradle in the rushes, you are broken like the day
             C    F         G      C
And darkness all around you like a shroud

Chorus:
      F        G            C                 F
And I swear to god I saw an angel hand attend you
    C                         F      G
But that was just the dancing of the light
   C           G            Am         F
No mortal or immortal did deliver or defend you
                  Dm7   G     C
All hands have forsaken you tonight

Verse:
                     G                C           F
When they finally surrounded you, did any of them face you?
            C         F        G      C
And did you curse the moon and stars above?
                  G                C                F
Those cruel arms abandoned you for water to embrace you
                   C        F    G    C
Won't you lay your head, my waterlily love?

Chorus:
      F        G            C                 F
And I swear to god I saw an angel hand attend you
    C                         F      G
But that was just the dancing of the light
   C           G            Am         F
No mortal or immortal did deliver or defend you
                  Dm7   G     C
All hands have forsaken you tonight

Verse:
                   G           C        F
Caught between the air and the windless deep
    C     F      G    C
You float like a lily flower
                           G       C        F
And you look just like you fell to earth to sleep
               C   F        G      C
And you're waiting for your waking hour
                   F        G      Am
And you're waiting for your waking hour
