[Verse 1]
Am
City lights are burning,
Em
night is falling down.
Am
Eyes are blue and silver, baby,
Em G
neon all around
[Verse 2]
Am
Sitting on the curbside,
Em G
dreams of a life so grand.
Am Em
Just a little child playing
G
in a grown-up land.
[Verse 3]
Am
Houston, you don't know it
Em G
your world all full of lies.
Am
Reach out, little baby,
Em G
now put your hand in mine.
[Chorus 1]
Am
She's a little angel (broken angel)
Em G
with a broken wing.
Am
Darling little angel (she's a broken angel)
Em G
no more prayers to sing.
[Verse 4]
Am
Stare at your reflection;
Em G
puddle on the ground
Am
All out of redemption;
Em G
sold out in this town.
[Verse 5]
Am
Climb inside my arms now
Em G
and I will keep you safe.
Am
Take their knives and arrows,
Em G
the lost look on your face.
[Verse 6]
Dm Em
Can't you hear me calling?
Dm Em
Can't you let me in?
Dm Em
I'm begging you to save you;
Dm Em
you could start again.
[Chorus 2]
Am
C'mon little angel, (broken angel)
Em G
standing in the rain.
Am
Broken little angel (she's a broken angel)
Em G
in her world of pain.
[Instrumental]
Am Em G Am Em G
[Verse 7]
Am
You were born to be here;
Em G
filling up a need.
Am
Now your soul is empty, baby;
Em
no more blood to bleed.
[Chorus 3]
Am
Quiet little angel, (broken angel)
Em G
the tears fill up my eyes.
Am
Broken little angel, (broken little angel)
Em G
your life is a disguise.
Am
She's a broken angel (she's a broken angel)
Em G
and she can never fly.
Am
Darling little angel (she's a broken angel)
Em G Am
will never reach the sky.
[Outro]
Em G
(She's a broken angel)
Am Em G Am
(She's a broken angel) She's a broken angel
