Lyrics

Spend all your time (Ebm7)wait ing

for that (Gb)se cond chance,

for a (Db)break that would make it o kay.

There’s (Absus4)al ways some (Ebm7)rea son

to feel (Gb)not good e nough,

and it’s (Db)hard at the end of the day.

I (Absus4)need some dis (Ebm7)trac tion,

oh, a (Gb)beau ti ful re lease.

(Db)Me mo ries (Bbm)seep from my (Ab)veins;

(Absus4)let me be (Ebm7)emp ty,

oh, and (Gb)weight less, and may be I’ll (Db)find some (Bbm)peace to night.

In the (Db)arms

of the an gel,

fly a (Fm)way

from here,

from this (Gb)dark,

cold

ho tel room

and the end

less ness that you fear.

You are (Db)pulled

from

the wreck age

of your (Fm)si lent rev er ie.

You’re in the (Gb)arms

(Gbsus4)of

the (Gb)an gel;

may you (Db)find

(Absus4)some com fort here.

So tired of the (Ebm7)straight life;

and (Gb)ev ’ry you

there’s (Db)vul tures and at your back.

The (Absus4)storm keeps on (Ebm7)twist ing;

keep on (Gb)build ing the lies

that you (Db)make up for all that you lack.

It (Absus4)don’t make no diff ’rence,

es (Gb)cap ing one last time;

it’s eas i er to be

(Absus4)in this sweet (Ebm7)mad ness,

this (Gb)glo ri ous sad ness, that (Db)brings me (Bbm)to my (Ab)knees.

(Db)arms

of the an gel,

fly a (Fm)way

from here,

from this (Gb)dark,

cold

ho tel room

and the end

less ness that you fear.

You are (Db)pulled

from

the wreck age

of your (Fm)si lent rev er ie.

You’re in the (Gb)arms

(Gbsus4)of

the (Gb)an gel;

may you (Db)find

(Absus4)some com fort here.

So tired of the here.

About “Angel”

Why does the accompaniment for "Angel" show falling notes?
Falling Notes makes each chord visual — colored notes drop onto the keyboard so you can FEEL the rhythm of the backing before each entry. Singers find it easier to lock in with the piano's groove when they see the chord notes land instead of just hearing them.
What key is the piano accompaniment for "Angel" by Sarah McLachlan in?
The backing track is in Db at 59 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
Can I sing over "Angel" with this accompaniment?
Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
Is this a karaoke version of "Angel"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Angel", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "Angel" as a backing track for my instrument?
Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.
Can I download the accompaniment for "Angel"?
Yes — registered users can download MIDI + MusicXML (open in any notation software). PDF sheet music is also available for the full arrangement.
Who wrote "Angel"?
"Angel" was originally performed by Sarah McLachlan. This piano accompaniment is an arrangement of that song, designed for sing-along and play-along use.
Can I use "Angel" as a backing track for singing?
Yes — this is the piano accompaniment for Angel by Sarah McLachlan, with the chord notes falling visually so you can see exactly when each chord lands. Original key is Db; transpose live to fit your voice.
How is this different from the bar-sheet accompaniment?
Same audio backing — different visualization. Falling notes show each chord note dropping in real time (like Synthesia), which makes the chord rhythm easier to feel. Use whichever view helps you stay on the beat.
