Broken Angel

Am
City lights are burning,
Em
night is falling down.
Am
Eyes are blue and silver, baby,
Em               G
neon all around

[Verse 2]
Am
Sitting on the curbside,
Em                  G
dreams of a life so grand.
Am                          Em
Just a little child playing
              G
in a grown-up land.

[Verse 3]
Am
Houston, you don't know it
Em                     G
your world all full of lies.
Am
Reach out, little baby,
Em                   G
now put your hand in mine.

[Chorus 1]
Am
She's a little angel (broken angel)
Em            G
with a broken wing.
Am
Darling little angel (she's a broken
 angel)
Em                 G
no more prayers to sing.

[Verse 4]
Am
Stare at your reflection;
Em            G
puddle on the ground
Am
All out of redemption;
Em               G
sold out in this town.

[Verse 5]
Am
Climb inside my arms now
Em                  G
and I will keep you safe.
Am
Take their knives and arrows,
Em                    G
the lost look on your face.

[Verse 6]
Dm                Em
Can't you hear me calling?
Dm               Em
Can't you let me in?
Dm                 Em
I'm begging you to save you;
Dm               Em
you could start again.

[Chorus 2]
Am
C'mon little angel, (broken angel)
Em              G
standing in the rain.
Am
Broken little angel (she's a broken 
angel)
Em              G
in her world of pain.

[Verse 7]
Am
You were born to be here;
Em           G
filling up a need.
Am
Now your soul is empty, baby;
Em
no more blood to bleed.

[Chorus 3]
Am
Quiet little angel, (broken angel)
Em                   G
the tears fill up my eyes.
Am
Broken little angel, (broken little 
angel)
Em             G
your life is a disguise.
Am
She's a broken angel (she's a broken
 angel)
Em                G
and she can never fly.
Am
Darling little angel (she's a broken
 angel)
Em                   G   Am
will never reach the sky.
