Explanation:  each chord is held for the measure.  the chords in
parentheses can be ad-libbed in between the changes.  If it's confusing at
all, you can just drop the parenthesied chords.

Intro: A (Asus2)  C (C2) G  D (Dsus2)  (two times, hold on D 2nd time)

Fmaj7
meet me in the morning
C
at the bus stop
      Fmaj7
we'll ride into the town
C
down to the square
           Fmaj7
to see the angel
           C
   see the angel in the fountain
Fmaj7                    -
     meet me in the morning

A (Asus2) C (C2) G D (hold)

(repeat as above)
meet me after daybreak
tie your hair back
we'll drift into the crawd
get last among the loud
and they'll be singing
  they'll be singing in our daydream
when we're tired we'll leave them
  all behind and walk away

A (Asus2)
I love you
C  (C2)
I love you
G             A
I love you a lot

meet me in the courtyard
where the saints pray
musing in our stare
still painfully aware
that there are others
shoulds and woulds with names and faces
close your eyes and open up your mind
  and hear me say

chorus

A       (Asus2)
see the angel
C    (C2)        G              D
  she's dancing in the water
A       (Asus2)
hear the angel
C     (C2)       G             D  (hold)
  she's laughing in the water

(play each chord once and let ring)
Fmaj7
something in the way that you
C
said you really felt that we could be
G               A
good friends forever

Fmaj7
something in the way that you
C
told me you really felt that we could be
G               A    Asus2
together for a long time.

(repeat chorus to end)
