G         Bm      Am             
Just this side of Heaven 
       C               D                  
Was an angel in cowboy boots
G                      Bm         Am
Auburn hair, big brown eyes and a funny little smile
C                 D            G        
Changed my world, fly a little while

[Chorus] 
       G   C    C/B  Am   Am/G D           
I met you just this side of   heaven, 
      C/G    C    C/B  Am   Am/G D
While living just this side of   hell
          G   C  C/B Am   Am/G D
Love with you it was full of   beauty
        C       Am           G                
Off you flew, I wish I could too

G Bm Am C D
G Bm Am C D G

[Chorus]
       G            Bm          Am         
Well I wish she had told me her secrets, 
    C            D
How angels never stay
         G          Bm           Am 
They are here for a while and it feels so right 
C                  D             G
Dont go trying to hold them too tight
