Mark David Manders

Mark David Manders - Not All Angels guitar chord

C

Her thoughts are scattered throughout her mind

Dm

Like sunlight through Venetian blinds

F G

Pull ‘em down just in time so the neighbors won’t know

C

Long ago she was swept off her feet

Dm

Now the broom that kept that house so neat

F G C

Is pushed across an apartment suite on the second floor

(Chorus)

F G C Am

And not all angels were meant to fly

F G C

Faith ain’t always what it seems

F G C C/B Am

And, Lord, you know she’d sell her very soul

F G C

Just to save the family

For 36 years she did her best

To teach her children self respect

Despite his temper and neglect, and occasional abuse

Now the remnants of the family that

Once posed together for a photograph

Talk behind each other’s back and disregard the truth

Chorus

Now late at night a baby weeps

On the other side of town a man can’t sleep

Maybe they both had bad dreams at the same time

The baby winds up in a rocking chair

Safe and sound since Grandma’s there

The man is left alone to stare and they both realize

Chorus
