G C C G D x4 D G C G D It is a hurtinʼ thing, you donʼt wanna talk about it G C G D Pain in your heart, well, itʼs takinʼ your breath away G C G D You left it in lipstick on the mirror: no use talkinʼ about it G C G D Love like this just donʼt come along every day Chorus: G C G D Somebody just stop calling you angel G C G D Somebody just let love get up and go downtown G C G D Somebody just stop calling you angel G C G D Angel wings out in the snow and mascara running down They called you tookie in high school; you didnʼt mind it too much Kind of nice to have a nickname, kind of like they thought about it You wish that it stuck with you: didnʼt have to trade it in on Some crazy loverʼs petname- wind up hurtinʼ so much Em D He peeled the skin off of the world and you stopped breathinʼ C D You drew a breath, he sighed, the air was freezinʼ Em D Two blood red hearts pumpinʼ hard out in the open C D You skinned your knee at kickball twenty years ago against all hopinʼ Chorus. Yʼall put that hammer down and drove through loveʼs angel food cake Tastinʼ every spongy layer and lickinʼ frosting off the moon Wild eyed with excitement but childishly disappointed Maybe even tasted better when mama let you lick the spoon Somebody just stop calling you angel x3
