D             G         A             D
The touch of your hand        will let me know 
            G                A
you take me in    and let me go  
           D                   Bm
if not for love   why would we meet 
          G              Em       A
how is it done, two into one, so easily  

                  D
were lifted up by angels 
                Bm
higher than the world 
                 Em                           G
strong enough to leave it, bound to learn the secrets
             A
angels never heard  
                  D
were lifted up by angels  

         G         A             D
you understand        yet never  say 
          G                  A
how every plan   would fade away  
           D                       Bm
if not for love    where would you be 
         G              Em              A
ashes to dust, water to rust, away from me  

                  D
were lifted up by angels 
                Bm
higher than the world 
                 Em                           G
strong enough to leave it, bound to learn the secrets
             A
angels never heard  
                  D
were lifted up by angels  
               Bm
given wings to fly  
                  Em                          G
leave the night behind us, trust the light to find us
           A
even as we rise  
                  D             Bm
were lifted up by angels

[Verse]
                     D
were close enough to heaven 
           Bm
above  the rain  
                Em                      G
darkness cannot reach us let the angels teach us
            A
only love remains
