Intro: F C  F C  G C F C  F C F C  G C F  
  
                    C      F 
So many songs about angels 
             C                   G       F 
It seems god makes them with his hands 
                C               F      C  F 
So I guess this mess of falling angels 
         C            G    C  G 
Must fit his immortal plan 
  
  
                        F     C  Dm  F 
How every flower should open 
          C                    G 
How every crippled bird should fly 
             F   C                          
And a cry of love from the deepest darkest ocean 
F                    C                G 
Flies up through his brightest broken sky 
  
  
                     F      C   G  F 
But I can't point no finger 
             C               G 
You can't do nothing more to me, see 
                 F      C 
Here's my broken hammer 
             F C     F 
I can't play A-flat 
              C               G 
But I'm still playing in that key 
  
  
                         F      C  F 
And at the holy saint's asylum 
             C               G 
There's this patron for lost souls 
                              F      C 
Who've perjured grail for the money  
         F               C 
Mammon's kingdom and his power  
F              C                G 
All is painted glory, yeah, but glory holds a key 
  
  
                       F       C 
And here's this broken hammer 
      F            C 
Can't fix this old piano 
F                    C             G 
Seems sometimes that you can't get enough of me 
F   C   F  C  F 
Hurting 
       C               G 
As the hammer hits the key 
  
  
                           F C     F  C  F 
But if god could make them angels 
                           G      F 
With only mud and dust and sand 
       C                 F      C  F 
Making blood from living water 
       C              G     F 
Man, I think I'd understand 
  
  
           C                 F      C  F 
He'd be in every flower that opens 
           C                   G 
And in the first new breath of spring 
                 F           C 
In the bird song high in the sky 
        F                C 
Sailing clear across the oceans  
     F                 C               G 
Some hear his voice in every bell that rings 
  
  
              C                F      C   F 
They say it's god who made the angels 
       C          G     F 
From infinity and sand 
       C               F 
But if Heaven made the angels 
G      F         C      F   
Who in Hell made man? 
                    C    F 
If god could make angels 
                    C     G 
If god could make angels 
                 C 
Why in hell make man?
