[Verse 1]
F Am Bb
I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill
F Am Bb
I threw the day old tea from the cup
Dm C Bb F
Packed up the photo album Matthew had made
Bb C F
Memories of a life that's been loved
F Am Bb
Took the get well soon cards and stuffed animals
F Am Bb
Poured the old ginger beer down the sink
Dm C Bb F
Dad always told me Don't you cry when you're down
Bb C F
But mum there's a tear every time that I blink
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm Bb F C
Oh I'm in pieces it's tearing me up but I know
Gm Bb F C
A heart that's broke is a heart that's been loved
[Chorus]
F Am Bb
So I'll sing Hallelujah
C F Am Bb
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
C Dm Bb
When I fell down you'd be there holding me up
F C
Spread your wings as you go
Dm Bb
When God takes you back
F C F Am Bb
He'll say Hallelujah you're home
F Am Bb
[Verse 2]
F Am Bb
I fluffed the pillows made the beds stacked the chairs up
F Am Bb
Folded your nightgowns neatly in a case
Dm C Bb F
John says he'd drive then put his hand on my cheek
Bb C F
And wiped a tear from the side of my face
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm Bb F C
I hope that I see the world as you did 'cause I know
Gm Bb F C
A life with love is a life that's been lived
[Chorus]
F Am Bb
So I'll sing Hallelujah
C F Am Bb
You were an angel in the shape of my mum

When I fell down you'd be there holding me up

When God takes you back
