[Verse]
Some aEngels will carry you hAmomeward
Other Eangels you don't wanna Ammeet
My guaErdian angel's got E7wings of tinfoil
A* E
And cigarettes found in the street
My Eangel's got eyes like a Amhousing project
EHe was born inside a Amguitar
And IE can't forget his red E7lips 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
[Chorus]
I know God lifts up the F#7lowly
A* F#7
I know God lifts up the lowly
A*
[Verse]
EWe're searching the trunk every Ammorning
EWe tore out a tracking devAmice
EAnd I pray for plagues to come E7down on this Egypt
A* E
And I dream of blood, fire and lice
EI wake with my coat for a Amblanket
EMy angel's been up for an Amhour
EI've looked deep into this E7frail 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
[Chorus]
I know God lifts up the F#7lowly
A* F#7
I know God lifts up the lowly
[Outro]
