AE
After every day-after-Thanksgiving sale
F#mD
the malls just ain't complete
AEF#m
Without a bunch of decorations and a paper angel tree
BmADA
There's artificial smiles on artificial tree limbs
BmAF#mEsus- E
Saying what she'd love to have and what to buy for him
AE
Well i hope Maggie likes her new winter clothes
F#mD
and her buggy with a baby doll
AE
And maybe Tom'll smile with his new nike shoes
F#mD
when he shoots that basketball
BmADA
I can't help but wishing that i could do more
BmAF#mEsus- E
But not just while I'm shopping in the department store
Chorus:]
AEF#mD
Paper angels you're in my thoughts and prayers
AEF#mD
No matter where you are right now remember God's right there
BmADA
He's asking all of us to help take care
F#mDAEF#mD
Of his paper angels everywhere
Going through the mail almost every afternoon i see a Mom and Dad's
Worst dream
There on the back of a money-saving ad to get my carpet cleaned
Height, weight, hair, eyes, date missing, and DOBA child's name, a picture, and the words 'have you seen me?'
Chorus:]
Paper angels you're in my thoughts and prayers
No matter where you are right now remember God's right there
He's asking all of us to help take care
Of his paper angels everywhere
(Bridge)
F#mA
His documented bruises fill a folder file
F#mEsusE
She's a second grade self-portrait drawn without a smile
F#mAC#mF#m
And every town is littered with this kind of debris
DADE
We've got to stop this madness and it's up to you and me
Chorus:]
Paper angels you're in my thoughts and prayers
No matter where you are right now remember God's right there
He's asking all of us to help take care
Of his paper angels everywhere
Paper angels everywhere
