In Search Of Angles Lyrics And Chords By Runrig
4/4 timing. Guitar work by Marc.
Back to the Runrig song lyrics .
(D)Pick up the broken pieces (G)from the ground
(D)All your di(Em)minishing re(D)turns
(D)And take a good look at the (G)master plan (Em)
'Cause down here (A)every candle (D)burns
(D)You are as gentle as the (G)morning dawn
(D)Torment can't (Em)wash away your (D)grace
(D)In search of angels with the (G)Uist eyes (Em)
So many (A)suns light up your (D)face
To(D)night the (A)skies are (D)red
(G)So red they (Em)fill my (A)eyes
(D)Sundown on barren words that (G)can't describe (Em)
Your island para(A)dise
(D)But I know that all's well (G)with the world (Em)
Don't worry any(A)more
Don't worry (G)now –Em-A-D
(D)Too many seas to cross, too (G)many roads
(D)You leave me (Em)with my higher (D)need
(D)This one horizon in our (G)borrowed hour (Em)
Such little (A)lives we (D)lead
To(D)night the (A)skies are (D)red
(G)So red they (Em)fill my (A)eyes
(D)Sundown on barren words that (G)can't describe (Em)
Your island para(A)dise
(D)But I know that all's well (G)with the world (Em)
Don't worry any(A)more
Don't worry (G)now (Em)
A(A)nother sun will (D)rise

🎶 PLAYING GUIDE
• Use **fingerpicking** for verses 1–2 — soft and atmospheric.
• Switch to **gentle strumming** for verse 3 — it lifts the emotion.
• On the final “don’t worry now,” slow slightly and let the G ring.
