[Verse]
E                Asus2             E                Asus2 E
  Walkin' out on Main Street lone angel lets out a sigh
                       Asus2
Goin' unnoticed by the traffic in the streets
      E                   Asus2 E
He's worried about their lives
                          Asus2
The little town isn't the same anymore
          E              Asus2 E
The lone angel hardly belongs
                Asus2               E
People humming about their business
                     Asus2
Without a spiritual song


[Chorus]
        Bsus4      Asus2             E           Esus4 E
And you cry, lone angel 'neath the blackened sky
        Bsus4      Asus2              E         Esus4 E
And the tears keep falling from your angry eyes
        Bsus4    Asus2          E            Esus4 E
And the darkness gathers in the town tonight
        F#m       A                         E    Esus4 E
And the hosts of heaven are bound from the fight
            F#m             A                [Riff 1]
Because the saints aren't praying for their lives


Do it if it feels good to you, that's the message, the message in sight
Lone angel knows what they're saying
There's not really wrong or right
He walks along with his head hung low
Is there really no respite
Darker forces are working here
And they're showin' off their might

[Chorus]
Yeah, well you cry, lone angel 'neath the blackened sky
And the tears keep falling from your angry eyes
And the darkness gathers in the town tonight
And the hosts of heaven are bound from the fight
            F#m             A                E    Esus4 E
Because the saints aren't praying for their lives

[Riff 1]


On the hill there's a red-brick church
Barely a remnant alive
Hardly anyone prays anymore, hardly anyone to face the fight
A little man with his hands clasped tight
He's praying for the world tonight
He may be just a little spark
But he's enough to start the light


[Chorus]
And you cry, lone angel 'neath the blackened sky
And the tears keep falling from your angry eyes
And the darkness gathers in the town tonight
And the hosts of heaven are starting to fight
               F#m         A            E               Esus4 E
'Cause there's one little saint praying for their lives

[Chorus]
And you cry, lone angel 'neath the blackened sky
And the tears keep falling from your angry eyes
And the darkness gathers in the town tonight
But the hosts of heaven are starting to fight
'Cause there's one little saint praying
