[G]I just needed someone 
[D]Somebody to hold
[Cadd9]When the bottle was empty
[Cadd9]and the nights grew cold

[G]In my hour of darkness
[D]In my time of need
[Cadd9]You were my angel of mercy
[Cadd9]And help me to believe

[Em7]You touched my soul
[Cadd9]When I was lonely
[Em7]You held me up
[D]when I couldn't fly

[G]There's no words could explain
[D]How I feel inside
[Cadd9]And this I tell you

 Short Solo (G, D, Em7, Cadd9)

[G]In a world full of anger
[D]and times gone strange
[Cadd9]You held me close
[Cadd9]You held me close to you

[G}Lay my head on your shoulder
[D}I finally let it all out
[Cadd9]It felt good for a moment
[Cadd9]Not living in a shadow of doubt

[Em7]But everybody needs a little something
[Cadd9]To pull them through
[Em7]I gave one for the other
[Cadd9]And God know that the other was you

Chorus:
[G]Now only time will tell
[D]Only time will tell
[Em7]If our love is scratched in sand
[Cadd9]Or if it's etched in stone

[G]Only time will tell
[D]Only time will tell
[Em7]If our love will stand
[Cadd9]Or walk the road alone

[Am]My angel of mercy
[C]Pulled me through somehow
[G]I just hope you know
[F]I need you now

Solo
[C, F, C, F, Em7, F, G]
[Em7]You're the one
[F]That touched my very soul
[Em7]The one who held on tight
[D]God knows you never let go

[G]Angel of mercy
[D]It's time we closed the door
[Cadd9]Put out the lights
[Cadd9]And burn the fire
Burn the fire inside
