Verse
E Am
Some angels will carry you homeward
E Am
Other angels you don't wanna meet
E E7
My guardian angel's got wings of tinfoil
A* E
And cigarettes found in the street
E Am
My angel's got eyes like a housing project
E Am
He was born inside a guitar
E E7
And I can't forget his red lips and eyelashes
A* B*
And his "How'd we end up where we are?"
Pre-Chorus
C#m* A*
There's nothing doing on the main streets
C#m* A*
Let's take the alley for the evening
C#m* A* B*
And we're driving in a car that won't slow down
A*
Making ourselves up in the rear view mirror
F#7
I know God lifts up the lowly
A* F#7
I know God lifts up the lowly
A*
Verse
E Am
We're searching the trunk every morning
E Am
We tore out a tracking device
E E7
And I pray for plagues to come down on this Egypt
A* E
And I dream of blood, fire and lice
E Am
I wake with my coat for a blanket
E Am
My angel's been up for an hour
E E7
I've looked deep into this frail human body
A* B*
And I know that I carry a power
Pre-Chorus
C#m* A*
We'll never make it on the main streets
C#m* A*
They'll force us back into the alley ways
C#m* A* B*
And we're re-arranging furniture
A*
In a burning house
F#7
I know God lifts up the lowly
A* F#7
I know God lifts up the lowly
