[Verse]
         D    Dmaj7        G
Tell the man         who repairs the wings for angels
             D                Dmaj7              G
That one has fallen among the mortals on Bleeker Street
         D     Dmaj7     G
I lent a hand,       she looked up at the steeples
         D                  Dmaj7                G
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]
           D      Dmaj7                    G
Spread the news,         'cause there's an angel in Manhattan
             D                 Dmaj7      G
Call out the paparazzi and the television crews
               Bm      A
Let the people choose
        G
Would a little Faith come to harm them?
          Bm                  A              G
Print the headlines up in the New York Daily News
              Em
  It was just another day
           G
  Like any other, other day
                D     Dmaj7    G
  A Tuesday afternoon

[Verse]
           D      Dmaj7          G
I hailed a cab,          a crowd gathered as it pulled beside us
             D                        Dmaj7             G
And somebody tore at her wings, but I helped her safely inside
            D           Dmaj7         G
"I'm much obliged," she said, but the driver he looked shaken
                 D             Dmaj7                  G
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]
           Bm    A                    G
Spread the news,    'cause there's an angel in Manhattan
             Bm                A          G
Call out the paparazzi and the television crews
           D        Dmaj7          G
Hey if you choose,         would a little Faith come to harm you?
          D                   Dmaj7          G
Print the headlines up in the New York Daily News
              Em
  It was just another day
                G
  What will the mayor say?

           D      Dmaj7   G
"Good afternoon.
              D      Dmaj7   G
Oh, good afternoon."

[Bridge]
G                                    A
    We flew down the length of Fifth Avenue
         Bm                     A                G
Man, she threw out miracles, it was a hysterical ride
G                                           A
    And if the crowd on the sidewalk looked skeptical
    Bm            A                          G
She took the blue right out of their cynical eyes
                      Em
"It's all in what you feel inside"

[Verse]
                      D      Dmaj7        G
She shook the mayor's hand,        and he declared
That he'd hold a press conference,
    D                               Dmaj7          G
The fans and protesters blocked the stairs to city hall
                       D        Dmaj7
"I'd like to thank you all," he said
             G
And when she stepped before the cameras
   D                          Dmaj7                        G
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


           Bm    A            G
Spread the news,     I saw an angel fly from Manhattan
            Bm                     A                G
In front of paparazzi, in front of television crews
         D      Dmaj7          G
And me I choose...    I know a little Faith wouldn't harm me
   D                           Dmaj7          G
Despite what they print in the New York Daily News
                Em
  It was just another day
                  G
  Like any other, other day

[Outro]
           D   Dmaj7  G
  Like any day
           D   Dmaj7  G x 2
