Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

After every day after Thanksgiving sale.,

  ,s

The malls just ain't complete

Without a bunch of decorations and a paper angel tree

There's arificial smiles on artificial tree limbs

Sayin what she'd love to have and what to buy for him

 Well I hope Maggie likes her new winter clothes

 And her buggie with a baby doll

 And maybe Tom'll smile in his new Nike shoes

 When he shoots that basketball

I can't help but wishin, that I could do more

But not just while I'm shopping in the department store

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

Am G/B C D G (D/F# Em C)--chorus 1

Of His paper angels, everywhere

 Goin 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 missin, and D.O.B.

A child's name, a picture, and the words "Have you see me?"

Chorus

 His documented bruises, fill a folder and a file

 She's a second grade self portrait drawn without a smile

 And every town is littered with this kind of debris

 We've got to stop this madness, it's up to you and me

Last 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
