A E
After every day-after-Thanksgiving sale
F#m D
the malls just ain't complete
A E F#m
Without a bunch of decorations and a paper angel tree
Bm A D A
There's artificial smiles on artificial tree limbs
Bm A F#m Esus- E
Saying what she'd love to have and what to buy for him
A E
Well i hope Maggie likes her new winter clothes
F#m D
and her buggy with a baby doll
A E
And maybe Tom'll smile with his new nike shoes
F#m D
when he shoots that basketball
Bm A D A
I can't help but wishing that i could do more
Bm A F#m Esus- E
But not just while I'm shopping in the department store
[Chorus:]
A E F#m D
Paper angels you're in my thoughts and prayers
A E F#m D
No matter where you are right now remember God's right there
Bm A D A
He's asking all of us to help take care
F#m D A E F#m D
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 DOB
A 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#m A
His documented bruises fill a folder file
F#m Esus E
She's a second grade self-portrait drawn without a smile
F#m A C#m F#m
And every town is littered with this kind of debris
D A D E
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
