[Verse 1]
Last night I saw a suit give a buck to a bum
Twenty feet down the street, someone yelling, look up
Some girl, maybe eighteen, probably drunk
Just in time, out the way of a bus

[Pre-Chorus]
And maybe things are finally getting better, better
Maybe everyone is finally fed up enough
Maybe all the clouds are gonna let up, let up

[Chorus]
Brown bags, sky high, I see angels in Chelsea
Wall Street, chic life, I see angels in Chelsea
Lost souls pass by, through the chain link and concrete
And everywhere I look tonight, I see angels around me
And everywhere I look tonight, I see angels in Chelsea

[Verse 2]
Spring Street, hear a busker singing the blues
'Bout peace in the world and some money for food
And little kid says, "I'm gonna be like you
A superstar, and I'ma make a difference too
And I'ma make a difference too"

[Pre-Chorus]
And maybe things are finally getting better, better
Maybe everyone is finally fed up enough
Maybe all the clouds are gonna let up, let up
[Chorus]
Brown bags, sky high, I see angels in Chelsea
Wall Street, chic life, I see angels in Chelsea
Lost souls pass by, through the chain link and concrete
And everywhere I look tonight, I see angels around me
And everywhere I look tonight, I see angels in Chelsea
(Angels in Chelsea)

[Bridge]
Subway, saw a woman in a beautiful dress
Head down in her hands, makeup a mess
Young mom, two kids, holes in their shoes
Says, "I've been there too, and you're gonna get through
Yeah, I've been there too, and you're gonna get through"

[Chorus]
Brown bags, sky high, I see angels in Chelsea
Wall Street, chic life, I see angels in Chelsea
Lost souls pass by, through the chain link and concrete
And everywhere I look tonight, I see angels around me
And everywhere I look tonight, I see angels in Chelsea

[Outro]
I see them living in the cold streets
I see angels in Chelsea
I see angels around me
All these angels in Chelsea (Around me)
All these angels around me
All these angels around me
I see angels in Chelsea
