Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
Tell [G]the man who re
[C]pairs the wings for angels
That one has [G]fallen among
the mortals on Bleeker [C]Street
I lent a hand,
[G]she loo[C]ked up at the steeples
As if to [G]blame them for the
pavement beneath [C]her feet
She said, "I [Am]never much liked flying,
[C]but the job requires trying
The [Am]hard part's avoiding
buildings and concrete"
[C]

[Verse 2]
[Chorus]
Spread the news,
[G]'cause the[C]re's an angel in Manhattan
Call out the [G]paparazzi and the
[C]television [Em]crews
[C]Let the people [Em]choose[D]
Would a [C]little Faith come
[Am]to harm them?
[C]Print the [G]headlines up in the New
York [C]Daily [Am]News
[C]It was just another [Am]day
[Em]Like any other, othe[C]r day

[Verse 3]
A [C]Tuesday [Em]af t[C]erno[G]on[C]
I hailed a cab,
[G]a crowd gat[C]hered as it pulled beside us
And somebody [G]tore at her wings,
but I helped her safely inside
[C]"I'm much oblig[G]ed," she said,
but [C]the driver he looked shaken

[Verse 4]
He said, "You're fak[G]in', lady,
[C]who[G]'s taking who for a r[C]ide"
But then [Am]we floated up over the traffic,
she turned the [C]radio [G]to static,
[Em]And [Am]she sang to him in Billy
Holiday's sweet [C]voice

[Verse 5]
[Chorus] Spread [Em]the news,
[D]'cause
there's an [C]angel in Manhattan
Call out the [Em]paparazzi [G]and the the
[Am]tele[D]vision c[C]rews
Hey if [G]you choose
[D]Would a l[C]ittle Faith come to harm you?
Print the [Em]headlines up in
[D]the New York Daily [C]News
It was just an[Am]other day
What will the may[C]or say?
[G]"Good [Em]af[G][C]
[G]ternoon"
[C]

[Verse 6]
We flew down the length of Fifth [D]Avenue
She [Em]threw out miracles,
[G]it was[D] a hysterical rid[C]e
And if the crowd on [Am]the sidewalk
looked [D]skeptical
She [Em]took the blue [Am]right out
[D]of their cyn[C]ical eyes
"It's all in what [Am]you feel inside"
[C]

[Verse 7]
She shook the mayor's hand,
[G]and he declared
That [C]he'd hold a press conference,
[G]The fans and protesters blocked
the stairs to city [C]hall
"I'd like to thank you [G]all," he said
And when she [C]stepped
before the cameras
[G]It felt like a trial,
but she smiled as the questions [C]were called,
[Am]"What do you say to detractors,
who [C]claim you're just some actor?"

[Verse 8]
She said, [Am]"The question here,
is 'Do I believe in [C]you?'"
It was just an[Am]other day
Like any other, [C]other day

[Verse 9]
[Chorus] Spread the [Em]news,
[D]I saw an an ang[C]el fly from Manhattan
In front [Em]of paparazzi,
[G]in front [Am]of tele[D]vision [C]crews
And me I [G]choose
I know a [C]little Faith wouldn't harm me
Des[G]pite what they print in
the New York [D]Daily News
[C]

[Verse 10]
It was just an[Am]other day
Like any other, [C]other day

[Outro 1]
Like any day
