[Verse]
DDmaj7G
Tell the man who repairs the wings for angels
DDmaj7G
That one has fallen among the mortals on Bleeker Street
DDmaj7G
I lent a hand, she looked up at the steeples
DDmaj7G
As if to blame them for the pavement beneath her feet
Em
She said, "I never much liked flying,
G
but the job requires trying
Em
The hard part's avoiding
G
buildings and concrete"
[Chorus]
DDmaj7G
Spread the news, 'cause there's an angel in Manhattan
DDmaj7G
Call out the paparazzi and the television crews
BmA
Let the people choose
G
Would a little Faith come to harm them?
BmAG
Print the headlines up in the New York Daily News
Em
It was just another day
G
Like any other, other day
DDmaj7G
A Tuesday afternoon
[Verse]
DDmaj7G
I hailed a cab, a crowd gathered as it pulled beside us
DDmaj7G
And somebody tore at her wings, but I helped her safely inside
DDmaj7G
"I'm much obliged," she said, but the driver he looked shaken
DDmaj7G
He said, "You're fakin', lady, who's taking who for a ride"
Em
But then we floated up over the traffic,
G
she turned the radio to static,
Em
And she sang to him
G
in Billy Holiday's sweet voice
[Chorus]
BmAG
Spread the news, 'cause there's an angel in Manhattan
BmAG
Call out the paparazzi and the television crews
DDmaj7G
Hey if you choose, would a little Faith come to harm you?
DDmaj7G
Print the headlines up in the New York Daily News
Em
It was just another day
G
What will the mayor say?
DDmaj7G
"Good afternoon.
DDmaj7G
Oh, good afternoon."
[Bridge]
GA
We flew down the length of Fifth Avenue
BmAG
Man, she threw out miracles, it was a hysterical ride
GA
And if the crowd on the sidewalk looked skeptical
BmAG
She took the blue right out of their cynical eyes
Em
"It's all in what you feel inside"
[Verse]
DDmaj7G
She shook the mayor's hand, and he declared
That he'd hold a press conference,
DDmaj7G
The fans and protesters blocked the stairs to city hall
DDmaj7
"I'd like to thank you all," he said
G
And when she stepped before the cameras
DDmaj7G
It felt like a trial, but she smiled as the questions were called,
Em
"What do you say to detractors,
G
who claim you're just some actor?"
Em
She said, "The question here, is
G
'Do I believe in you?'"
Em
It was just another day
G
Like any other, other day
BmAG
Spread the news, I saw an angel fly from Manhattan
BmAG
In front of paparazzi, in front of television crews
DDmaj7G
And me I choose... I know a little Faith wouldn't harm me
DDmaj7G
Despite what they print in the New York Daily News
Em
It was just another day
G
Like any other, other day
[Outro]
DDmaj7G
Like any day
