[Chorus]
F/C
~ My heart goes out to the street angels
Working their way back home
Bbm/Db
My heart goes out to the street angels
F/C
~ I saved my change for a street angel
Bbm/Db F/C
Working his way back home
[Verse 1]
N.C.
I had this exchange with the street angel:
[spoken word to the rhythm]
"Nobody talks to me much
I said, nobody talks to me much
Nobody."
Bbm/Db
So he says
F/C N.C. [spoken word to the rhythm] Bbm/Db
~ "I make my verse for the universe
F/C N.C [spoken word to the rhythm]
~ I write my rhymes for the universities
And I give it away for the hoot of it
I tell my tale for the toot of it
I wear my suit for the suit of it
The tree is bare, but the root of it
Goes deeper than logical reasoning
[Verse 2]
Bbm
It's God goes fishing
And we are the fishes
He baits his lines
With prayers and wishes
Bbm/Db
They sparkle in the shallows
F/C N.C. Bbm/Db
~ They catch the falling light
F/C N.C. Bbm
~ We hide our hearts like holy hostages
While hungry for the love, and so we bite."
N.C. | N.C.(2 measures)
[Verse 3]
Bbm/Db F/C N.C.
Working his way back ~ ho-me
Bbm/Db F/C N.C.
He's working his way ba-ck ~
Bbm/Db F/C N.C.
They took him away in the am-bu-lance
Bbm/Db F/C N.C.
Made away with the am-bu-lance
Bbm/Db F/C N.C.
He waved goodbye from the am-bu-lance
Bbm/Db F/C Bbm/Db F/C
My heart goes out to the street angel
