Lyrics

They were (Dm)help less, they were hope less then a (Bb7)long came Bi (A7)al y!

They were (E)joy less, they were (E)boy less, then a (E)long (A13)came Bi (Dm)al y!

(Cm)They’re (D9)my (Gm6)an gels, I’m their dev il, and I (Dm)keep those em bers a glow.

When I (Bb)woo ’em, I can’t (Bb)lose ’em, ’cause I (Gm9)cast my spell ’n’ they start yell in’ (CN.C.)fire down be low!

They were (D6)list ing, they were sink ing, then a long

(Fdim7)came Bi (A7)al y!

They were (Em7)des p’rate, they were (Em7)drink ing, then a (Em7)long

(A)came Bi (D)al y!

So ro (G)man tic, they were (Gmaj7)fran tic, then their (G)prayers were (F#7)heard up a (Bm)bove.

Heav en (D)sent them

their Bi (G#)al y!

I’m the (Em7)cel e (Em7)bra tion (A7)of love!

Life had passed us by and love had sto len a way.

At the end of our rope, we’d giv en up hope of one last roll in the hay.

Dis card ed dolls, a ban doned wrecks con demned to a life of sit ting and knit ting, when all we real ly want ed was sex!

We were (F)list ing, we were (Fmaj7)sink ing, then a (F)long (Fdim7)came Bi (C7)al y!

We were (Gm7)des p’rate we were (Gm7)drink ing then a (Gm7)long (C7)came Bi (F7)al y!

So ro (Bb)man tic, we were (Bbmaj7)fran tic, then our (Bb)prayers were (A7)heard up a (Dm)bove.

It’s Bi (F6)al y, hail Bi (G9)al y!

He’s the (Gm9)cul min na tion, the re sto ra tion, the con sum ma tion, the tit i la tion, e jac u la tion, he’s the (G9)cel e

(Gm9)bra tion

(C7)of (F6)love!
