CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO:  F    C   F    C   G   C   F    C   F   C   F    C   G   C   F  
So many songs about CangelsF  
It seems god Cmakes them with his GhandsF  
So I guess this Cmess of falling FangelsC  F  
Must fit Chis immortal GplanC  G  
How every flower should FopenC  Dm  F  
How every Ccrippled bird should Gfly
And a cry of Flove Cfrom the deepest darkest ocean
FFlies up through his Cbrightest broken Gsky
But I can't point no FfingerC  G  F  
You can't do Cnothing more to Gme, see
Here's my broken FhammerC  
I can't play FA-CflatF  
But I'm still Cplaying in that Gkey
And at the holy saint's aFsylumC  F  
There's this Cpatron for lost Gsouls
Who've perjured grail for the Fmoney C  
Mammon's Fkingdom and his Cpower 
FAll is painted Cglory, yeah, but Gglory holds a key
And here's this broken FhammerC  
Can't Ffix this old Cpiano
FSeems sometimes that Cyou can't get Genough of me
FHurtCingF  C  F  
As the Chammer hits the Gkey
But if god could make them FanCgelsF  C  F  
With only mud and dust and GsandF  
Making Cblood from living FwaterC  F  
Man, I Cthink I'd underGstandF  
He'd be in Cevery flower that FopensC  F  
And in the Cfirst new breath of Gspring
In the bird song Fhigh in the Csky
Sailing Fclear across the Coceans 
Some Fhear his voice in Cevery bell that Grings
They say it's Cgod who made the FangelsC  F  
From inCfinity and GsandF  
But if CHeaven made the Fangels
GWho in FHell made Cman?F  
If god could make anCgelsF  
If god could make anCgelsG  
Why in hell make Cman?
