A                             G
Well, I could have been sick, I could have died
D
I could have given up and not tried
A                      G
To make it to tomorrow
D
Like a broken hearted lover

A                         G
But there was a brand new start
D
And suddenly I was taken
A                G
New and faraway places
D
And the music I was shaken

A                  G
It was a whole new race
D
When I woke on that first day
A                          G
There was nothing I could say
D
I was in the hands of angels

A                     G
Johnny and the governor
D
Came and brought me to my senses
A                      G
They made me feel just like a king
D
Made me lose all my Bad Defenses

A
And they knew all the places I needed to go
D
All of the people I needed to know
A
They knew who I needed, who needed me
D
And who would come help me and who would just let me be

A
I was in the hands of angels
D
Until this very day
A
Inside the hands of angels
D
What more can I say?

A
When you're in the hands of angels
D
Life is, oh, so sweet
A
And you feel the love down deep inside
D
Even out there on the street

D
In the hands of angels
