|A| Made by the madness of this man |bajos: B - A - G# - F#|
And |E| my words to him be |D| thank you,
|F#m| Would the heavens unders-|E4| tand?
All my |F#m| life I’ve been a good girl,
Every |A| night I’ve said my prayers
And I |E| hope that Jesus |D| heard me
|F#m| Through all my |D| tears.
Here's my |F#m| angels come to take me.
They are |A| haloed in the light,
But |E| I wish they’d touch me |D| softly,
They’re ag-|F#m| gressive and they’re up-|D| tight.
......|F#m| Lift me gently
......Or |A| leave me where I am.
......|Bm| I thought you’d be the hand of god.
......|F#m| But you’re just the same as |D| him.
......|F#m| Lift me gently.
......|A| Please not with human touch.
......|Bm| Christ knows I’ve had my |B7/C| share alive.
......And it |A/C#| never felt like |D| love |E4|
|F#m| So I’m face down in this river
And my |A| body is cold and useless
And the |E| angels pull at my |D| soul
|F#m| But it's anxious and it's |E4| nervous
And they |F#m| tell me
“You’re not the only one who |A| waits for their delivery,
|E| And your world’s too full of |D| lonely souls.
|F#m| And we’re rushed off our |D| feet”,
But I say, |E| please...
......|F#m| Lift me gently
......Or |A| leave me where I am.
......|Bm| I thought you’d be the hand of god.
......|F#m| But you’re just the same as |D| him
......|F#m| Lift me gently.
......|A| Please not with human touch.
......|Bm| Christ knows I’ve had my |B7/C| share alive.
......And it |A/C#| never felt like
......|D| love |Dm - A - Ddim --- Dmaj7 - Dm - A - C#7|
......|Dmaj7| Lift me |Dm| gently |A - Ddim|
......|Dmaj7| Lift me |Dm| gently |A|
