C     G    G7

[Chorus]
      C       Fm      G     C
Said, "Angel, Do you want a ride?"
      C    G  Fm                G
Said, "Angel, I'm tired and I'm lonely
Fm          G             C        G   G7
And I need somebody by my side"

[Verse]
       C                             G
It was a long road that stretched from Vegas to nowhere
C
But it'd been an even longer time
         G                     G7
Since he'd found some peace of mind
C
And he lived off of bubblegum and cigarettes
          G                            
And got his nourishment from all-night stores
C
Just thought he'd just keep driving
        G             G7
'Til he outdrove his sorrow

[Chorus]
          C         Fm     G      C
He said, "Angel, Oh do you want a ride?"
      C    G     Fm        G
Said "Angel, I'm tired and I'm lonely
Fm             G          C     G   G7
And I need somebody by my side"

[Verse]
C
Her feet were worn and tired
       G
But as determined as her soul
C
She left with no regrets
            G                  G7
But also no posessions did she own
C                           G
Her heart was as fragile as her thin, loving arms
C
She's praying to God to take away her lonely
     G                            G7
When he pulled on the side of the road

[Chorus]
             C          Fm     G      C
And he said, "Angel, Oh do you want a ride?"
      C     G   Fm                G
"I said, angel, I'm tired and I'm lonely
Fm             G          C     G   G7
And I need somebody by my side"

[Verse]
C
The highway goes on forever
     G
I've seen a thousand men like him before
C
And I've seen a thousand angels that
G            G7
Got into the car
C
They're just a couple of lost souls
           G                       G7
Looking to rekindle some forgotten dream
C
I hope they find what they're looking for
       G             G7
In the solace of the road

[Chorus]
               C       Fm     G      C
And they said, "Angel, Do you want a ride?"
          C   G  Fm                G
"I said, "Angel, I'm tired and I'm lonely
Fm                G
I'm tired and I'm lonely
Fm                G
I'm tired and I'm lonely
      Fm            G
And I need to have somebody
      C
By my angel"
