Firmament
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
A
So my heart did a back flip
E
I guess that's what they'd say
G#7 C#m Bm
I hadn't seen her since high school graduation
A
I brought my old hopes
E
She brought her fiancé
G#7 C#m Bm
And we shared some inane conversation
[Chorus]
A E
Just as beautiful, oh just as charming.
B7 E E7
But lord, what is this new dimension
A E
She has the dignity of a life not for me
F#7 B
Plans that I needed a wrench in
A A#dim
I guess it goes to show
E/B Cdim7 C#m
Something a young man ought to know
D A E
Angels are just people too
[Verse 2]
A
In my dark ages
E
When I was the earth
G#7 C#m
And my universe spun out around
Bm A
They lined the firmament
E
These angels of mine
G#7 C#m Bm
So pretty, and so far from the ground
[Chorus]
A E
They're just as beautiful, oh just as charming
B7 E E7
But lord, what is this new dimension
A E
They have the dignity of a life not for me
F#7 B
Plans that I needed a wrench in
A A#dim
And I guess it goes to show
E/B C#m
Something a young man ought to know
D A E
Angels are just people too
[Bridge]
Bm A E
And oh, when I smashed out the pedestal
F#m C#m
What a pleasant surprise
Bm A E
Here they all were, just half of the world
F#7 B7
Only holy through my teenage eyes
[Chorus]
A E
Just as beautiful, oh just as charming
B7 E E7
But lord, what is this new dimension
A E
Inconceivable, that a girl could be more
F#7 B
Than a foil for my romantic pretensions
A A#dim
So I guess it goes to show
E/B Cdim7 C#m
Something a young man ought to know
D A E
Angels are just people too
[Outro]
A A#dim E/B C#m
And now I finally know what I should have long ago
D A E
Thank god, they're just people, too

people, too
So my heart did a backflip
I guess that's what they'd say
I hadn't seen her since high-school graduation
I brought my old hopes
She brought her fiancée
And we shared some inane conversation
Just as beautiful
Oh, just as charming
But Lord, what is this new dimension?
She has the dignity
Of a life not for me
Plans that I needed a wrench in
I guess it goes to show
Something a young man ought to know
That angels are just people, too
In my dark ages
When I was the earth
And my universe spun out around
They lined the firmament
These angels of mine
So pretty, but so far from the ground
They're just as beautiful
Oh, just as charming
But Lord, what is this new dimension?
They have the dignity
Of a life not for me
Plans that I needed a wrench in
And I guess it goes to show
Something a young man ought to know
Angels are just people too
And ohhh, when I smashed down the pedestal
What a present surprise
'Cause here they all were
Just half of the world
Only holding through my teenage eyes
Just as beautiful
Oh, just as charming
But Lord, what is this third dimension?
Inconceivable
That a girl could be more
Than a foil for my romantic pretensions
So I guess it goes to show
Something a young man ought to know
Angels are just people too
And now I finally know
What I should have, long ago
Thank God! They're just people, too
