Too Many Angels Chords - Jackson Browne

Too Many Angels by Jackson Browne


(C#, A, E) X2

Bm				A			G			D
Looking through some photographs I found inside a book.
Bm		A		G		D
I was taken by a photograph of you.
Bm				A			G			D
There were one or two you that I know you would've liked a little more.
Bm		A		G		D
But they didn't show your spirit quite as true.
A									D
You were turning round to see who was behind you.
A									D
And I took your childish laughter by surprise.
D									Bm
And at the moment my camera happened to find you.
	G		-G#		-F#			D
There was just a trace of sorrow in your eyes.
Bm					A			G			D
Now the things that I remember seem so distant and so small.
Bm			A			G			D
Though it hasn't really been that long of time.
Bm			A			G			D
What I was seeing wasn't what was happening at all.
Bm				A			G			D
All though for a while our paths did seem to climb.
			A								D
And when you see though loves illusion there lies the danger.
			A				A/A		A	A/A
And your perfect lover just looks like a perfect fool.
D										Bm
And you go running off in search of a perfect stranger.
		G				Em		(E)		G
While the loneliness seems to spring from your life,
G	-G#	-F#			D	Dsus4
Like a fountain from a pool.

Chorus1:
G			A	Bb/B		Bm		A
 Fountain of sorrow, Fountain of life.
G				A			Bb/B				Bm		A
 You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight.
G			A				Bb/B			Bm		A
 You've had to hide sometimes and now you're all right.
D						G	-G#	-F#	D	Dsus4 (X2)
 And it's good to see your smiling face tonight.

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

Bm				A			G			D
Now for you and me it couldn't be that had to reach our dreams.
Bm		A		G		D
But that magic feeling never seems to last.
Bm						A				G				D
Well the future's there for anyone to change, but still you know it seems,
Bm			A			G			D
It would be easier sometimes to change the past.
A									D
I'm just one or two year and couple of changes behind you.
A									D
In my lessons love that's pain and heartaches good
D										Bm
Well if you feel to free and you need something to remind you.
		G				Em		(E)		G
There's this loneliness bringing in from your life,
G	-G#	-F#			D	Dsus4
Like a fountain from a pool.

Chorus1:

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

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

(Calm to end) G		A	Bb/B	Bm	A (X2)
