Angels
E
Me and some of the boys were sitting around the other night
A E
Started talking about politics, religion, love and life
And what a shame it was about 9-11
A
and what about hell and what about heaven
E
And is there or isn?t there angels here on earth
A
And then one guy said, well you can take that for what it?s worth
E B
If it?s something I can see or something I can touch
E
Well then I might believe in all that stuff
So I just had to say to him
[Refrão]E A
Are you telling me you?ve never seen an angel?
E F#m B7
Never felt the presence of one standing by
E
No robe of white or halo in sight
G#7 C#m
Well you?ve missed the most obvious thing
A F#m7 E
Man are you blind, just look in your mother?s eyes
And then I said who went through the pain
and smiled through the tears on the day of your birth
She counted your fingers and toes and thanked God you were whole
And son you ought to know who loved you first, that?s right
Who always came running every time you cried out
And how many more things have you forgotten about
Who tried her best to teach you wrong from right
And how many nights did she leave on the light
While she waited and prayed until you came in
And who?ll be there for you right up to the end
Think about it now
