Too Many Angels by Jackson Browne


(C#, A, E) X2

C#m				B			A			E
Looking through some photographs I found inside a book.
C#m		B		A		E
I was taken by a photograph of you.
C#m				B			A			E
There were one or two you that I know you would’ve liked a little more.
C#m		B		A		E
But they didn’t show your spirit quite as true.
B									E
You were turning round to see who was behind you.
B									E
And I took your childish laughter by surprise.
E									C#m
And at the moment my camera happened to find you.
	A		-G#		-F#			E
There was just a trace of sorrow in your eyes.
C#m					B			A			E
Now the things that I remember seem so distant and so small.
C#m			B			A			E
Though it hasn’t really been that long of time.
C#m			B			A			E
What I was seeing wasn’t what was happening at all.
C#m				B			A			E
All though for a while our paths did seem to climb.
			B								E
And when you see though loves illusion there lies the danger.
			B				B/A		B	B/A
And your perfect lover just looks like a perfect fool.
E										C#m
And you go running off in search of a perfect stranger.
		A				F#m		(E)		A
While the loneliness seems to spring from your life,
A	-G#	-F#			E	Esus4
Like a fountain from a pool.

Chorus1:
A			B	C/B		C#m		B
 Fountain of sorrow, Fountain of life.
A				B			C/B				C#m		B
 You’ve known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight.
A			B				C/B			C#m		B
 You’ve had to hide sometimes and now you’re all right.
E						A	-G#	-F#	E	Esus4 (X2)
 And it’s good to see your smiling face tonight.

(Interlude1: C#m,B,A,E) x2

C#m				B			A			E
Now for you and me it couldn’t be that had to reach our dreams.
C#m		B		A		E
But that magic feeling never seems to last.
C#m						B				A				E
Well the future’s there for anyone to change, but still you know it seems,
C#m			B			A			E
It would be easier sometimes to change the past.
B									E
I’m just one or two year and couple of changes behind you.
B									E
In my lessons love that’s pain and heartaches good
E										C#m
Well if you feel to free and you need something to remind you.
		A				F#m		(E)		A
There’s this loneliness bringing in from your life,
A	-G#	-F#			E	Esus4
Like a fountain from a pool.

Chorus1:

Interlude2: C#m, B, A, E, B7, C#m, D9th, A(barr), B(barr)

Chorus2:
A			B	C/B		C#m		B
Fountain of sorrow, Fountain of life.
A				B			C/B				C#m			B
You’ve known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight.
A				B		C/B			C#m		B
You’ve had to struggle, you’ve had to fight.
A				B		C/B			C#m		B
To keep understanding and compassion in sight.
A				B			C/B			C#m		B
You could be laughing at me, you’ve got the right.
A				B			C/B			C#m		B
But you go on smiling, so clear and so bright.

(Calm to end) A		B	C/B	C#m	B (X2)
