[Intro]
C F Am F
[Verse 1]
ECyes stinging red, from tears clouding focus
My edgeFs broken glass, shattered, dull, and bolus
I sat Amin your living room, the Amsame oCne
That you snuck through for tFwenty years
Tried to live them to their fullest
DCemons in your head followed you the closest
Spilled through Fevery single doorway
Grabbed you, wouldn't let you go
And I laid in that lAmiving room, seven hours straight
Didn't speak or move but I Fswear to God
Swear to God I felt your soul
And it's the Amsmall things that Gdrove you insane
Held your Ffuneral on a perfect weather day
[Pre-Chorus]
No last goobye, just siAmlence made
It's fallen tDears in falling Frain
[Chorus]
CStood outside of your Fold bedroom
Stillness, hCeavy air, sun drenched Fhollow view
I Cwould've been there to Flisten through
Said "It's oCkay to lose, even angels Fsing the blues"
[Post-Chorus]
I heard gAmospelsG  
FIn my head, in my head, in my head
[Verse 2]
Closed my Ceyes for just a glimpse
You were gone when they opened
Cobalt iFris, dimpled cheeks
With that smirk we'll never forget
I swear I heard your sAmpirit sing
He promised me you found peace in your Fsleep
I know you're finally serene
Watched your Amsmile Dchange in picture frames
Through your Fbest years, taken slow, a life of pain
[Pre-Chorus]
No last goobye, just sAmilence made
It's fallen Dmtears in falling Frain
[Chorus]
CStood outside of your old Fbedroom
Stillness, Cheavy air, sun drenched Fhollow view
I Cwould've been there to liFsten through
Said "It's okCay to lose, even angels sFing the blues"
[Post-Chorus]
I heard gospels Csinging in my head
[Bridge]
I heard Amgospels Bmsinging in my Ghead
I saw Cangels there, Fholding your hands
And I Ampray that it Gdidn't hurt too badly, my fCriend
I'll sFee you soon, it's not the end
I heard Amgospels Gsinging in my head
I saw aCngels, they're Fholding your hand
And I'm pAmraying that it Gdidn't hurt too badly, my fCriend
I'll Fsee you soon, it's not the end
I heard Amgospels Gsinging in my head
I saw Cangels, they're Fholding your hand
And I'm pAmraying that it Gdidn't hurt too badly, my Cfriend
I'll Fsee you soon, this is not the end
[Outro]
I thought about the Ambrass
Door handle you mGust've used
To hang Cup your gloves
Laces fall Ffrom your shoes
AmNo night goes by when I
Don't Gthink of you
We miss you so much, CTom
Know that you Fmiss us too
AmMan, I know that I'll see you soon
CDid what you had to do
Fven angels Fsing the blues
AmYeah, I know that I'll see you Gsoon
CDid what you had to do
Fven angels sDming the blues

[Intro]

C F Am F

[Verse 1]

Eyes stinging red, from tears clouding focus

My edges broken glass, shattered, dull, and bolus

Am Am C

I sat in your living room, the same one

That you snuck through for twenty years

Tried to live them to their fullest

Demons in your head followed you the closest

Spilled through every single doorway

Grabbed you, wouldn't let you go

And I laid in that living room, seven hours straight

Didn't speak or move but I swear to God

Swear to God I felt your soul

Am G

And it's the small things that drove you insane

Held your funeral on a perfect weather day

[Pre-Chorus]

No last goobye, just silence made

D F

It's fallen tears in falling rain

[Chorus]

C F

Stood outside of your old bedroom

C F

Stillness, heavy air, sun drenched hollow view

C F

I would've been there to listen through

C F

Said "It's okay to lose, even angels sing the blues"

[Post-Chorus]

Am G

I heard gospels

In my head, in my head, in my head

[Verse 2]

Closed my eyes for just a glimpse

You were gone when they opened

Cobalt iris, dimpled cheeks

With that smirk we'll never forget

I swear I heard your spirit sing

He promised me you found peace in your sleep

I know you're finally serene

Am D

Watched your smile change in picture frames

Through your best years, taken slow, a life of pain

[Pre-Chorus]

No last goobye, just silence made

Dm F

It's fallen tears in falling rain

[Chorus]

C F

Stood outside of your old bedroom

C F

Stillness, heavy air, sun drenched hollow view

C F

I would've been there to listen through

C F

Said "It's okay to lose, even angels sing the blues"

[Post-Chorus]

I heard gospels singing in my head

[Bridge]

Am Bm G

I heard gospels singing in my head

C F

I saw angels there, holding your hands

Am G C

And I pray that it didn't hurt too badly, my friend

I'll see you soon, it's not the end

Am G

I heard gospels singing in my head

C F

I saw angels, they're holding your hand

Am G C

And I'm praying that it didn't hurt too badly, my friend

I'll see you soon, it's not the end

Am G

I heard gospels singing in my head

C F

I saw angels, they're holding your hand

Am G C

And I'm praying that it didn't hurt too badly, my friend

I'll see you soon, this is not the end

[Outro]

I thought about the brass

Door handle you must've used

To hang up your gloves

Laces fall from your shoes

No night goes by when I

Don't think of you

We miss you so much, Tom

Know that you miss us too

Man, I know that I'll see you soon

Did what you had to do

Fven angels sing the blues

Am G

Yeah, I know that I'll see you soon

Did what you had to do

Fven angels sing the blues
