Too Many Angels Chords - Jackson Browne

Too Many Angels by Jackson Browne


(C#, A, E) X2

Em				D			C			G
Looking through some photographs I found inside a book.
Em		D		C		G
I was taken by a photograph of you.
Em				D			C			G
There were one or two you that I know you would've liked a little more.
Em		D		C		G
But they didn't show your spirit quite as true.
D									G
You were turning round to see who was behind you.
D									G
And I took your childish laughter by surprise.
G									Em
And at the moment my camera happened to find you.
	C		-G#		-F#			G
There was just a trace of sorrow in your eyes.
Em					D			C			G
Now the things that I remember seem so distant and so small.
Em			D			C			G
Though it hasn't really been that long of time.
Em			D			C			G
What I was seeing wasn't what was happening at all.
Em				D			C			G
All though for a while our paths did seem to climb.
			D								G
And when you see though loves illusion there lies the danger.
			D				D/A		D	D/A
And your perfect lover just looks like a perfect fool.
G										Em
And you go running off in search of a perfect stranger.
		C				Am		(E)		C
While the loneliness seems to spring from your life,
C	-G#	-F#			G	Gsus4
Like a fountain from a pool.

Chorus1:
C			D	D#/B		Em		D
 Fountain of sorrow, Fountain of life.
C				D			D#/B				Em		D
 You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight.
C			D				D#/B			Em		D
 You've had to hide sometimes and now you're all right.
G						C	-G#	-F#	G	Gsus4 (X2)
 And it's good to see your smiling face tonight.

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

Em				D			C			G
Now for you and me it couldn't be that had to reach our dreams.
Em		D		C		G
But that magic feeling never seems to last.
Em						D				C				G
Well the future's there for anyone to change, but still you know it seems,
Em			D			C			G
It would be easier sometimes to change the past.
D									G
I'm just one or two year and couple of changes behind you.
D									G
In my lessons love that's pain and heartaches good
G										Em
Well if you feel to free and you need something to remind you.
		C				Am		(E)		C
There's this loneliness bringing in from your life,
C	-G#	-F#			G	Gsus4
Like a fountain from a pool.

Chorus1:

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

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