World Of Our Own Tabs:
WESTLIFE COVER OF SARAH MCLACHLAN'S ANGEL
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
++Capo, 1st fret++
Short intro: C, Fmaj7, C
C Dm7 F
Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
C F G
For the break that would make it okay
Dm7 F
There's always some reason to feel not good enough
C F G
And it's hard at the end of the day
Dm7 F
I need some distraction, a beautiful release
C F G
Memories seep from my veins
Dm7 F
Let me be empty, oh and weightless, and maybe
C F G
I'll find some peace tonight
(Chorus)
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 Em
In the arms of the angel, fly away from here
F C
G
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 Em
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
F C, G
C, Fmaj7, C
You're in the arms of the angel, may you find some comfort here.
Dm7 F
So tired of this straight line, and everywhere you turn
C F G
There's vultures and theives at your back
Dm7 F
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies
C F G
That you make up for all that you lack.
Dm7 F
It don't make no difference, escaping one last time
C F G
It's easier to believe
Dm7 F
In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness
C F G
That brings me to my knees.
(Repeat chorus)
C x-3-2-0-1-0
Fmaj7 x-3-3-2-1-0
Dm7 x-x-0-2-1-1
F x-x-3-2-1-1
G 3-2-0-0-0-3

| surely you should just be pleased that this song is reaching more people! i've heard both versions, but the reason why bands release covers because they are incredible songs, and deserve to be recycled! this way, younger generations get to here these songs! i mean come on, who here has actually listened to barry manilow's version of mandy! i know that i never have, only other people's versions (david boreanaz's was hillarious!), and i'm 18! i love mandy, but it's because of westlife that i know all the words! give me westlife any day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | |

| Hmm...I think Westlife are alright for a boyband. One of the better ones. But to cover this song was really really wrong. | |

| "Outraged" best described my mental state when I first heard this. I sincerely hope that Sarah McLachlan's lawyers are going to consider sueing this bunch of talentless posers for butchering her beautiful song. | |

| it was one of their "not-so-good" decisions. Like teaming up with Mariah Carey. Who do you feel more sorry for? | |

| I have never heard the Westlife version of this song and I never intend to either. Sarah McLachlan's version was fantastic an hearing Westlife (the fucking worst boyband in the world) screwing it up might make me loose it..... | |

| Haha. You guys just dont know talent when you hear it. Seriously. Westlife are awesome. And I like Slayer. =] Just grow up. If you don't like the song, don't post your opinion, it just ruins it for small minded people. Let them make up their own damn mind cheers. | |

| I think it's unfair to say that westlife aren't good at this song...I prefer it to the original. It means a lot to me since it reminds me of a friend who has gone, and so I think that gingerguineepig should realise that people are entitled to their own opinions. | |

| yeh... you psycho and for the first person, don't you know anything? a band has to get permission from the original artist before the song can be redone. so sarah must have approved of it. idiot fair enough if you like the original version more; everyone always does, but don't go bitching about the cover song. remember, it was the original artist who sold the rights to the song. you people are so hostile... | |

| Yeah, that she said above me. One of the more better and matured boybands. And as you you gingerguineepig, your the kind of person who think's a peice of sandpaper is a map of the desert. Open your eyes to more than sucking ass | |
