C Em F
[Verse 1]
C Em F
I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill
C Em F
I threw the day old tea from the cup
Am G F Dm7 C
Packed up the photo album Matthew had made
F G C
Memories of a life that’s been loved
C Em F
Took the get well soon cards and stuffed animals
C Em F
Poured the old ginger beer down the sink
Am G F Dm7 C
Dad always told me don’t you cry when you’re down
F G C
But mum there’s a tear every time that I blink
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Dm F C G
Oh I’m in pieces, it’s tearing me up but I know
Dm F C G
A heart that’s broke is a heart that’s been loved
[Chorus 1]
C Em F
So I’ll sing Hallelujah
G C Em F
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
G
When I fell down you’d be there
Am F C G
Holding me up, spread your wings as you go
Am F C G
And when God takes you back, he’ll say Hallelujah, you’re home
C Em F G
C Em F
[Verse 2]
C Em F
I fluffed the pillows, made the beds, stacked the chairs up
C Em F
Folded your nightgowns neatly in a case
G Am G F C
John said he’d drive then put his hand on my cheek
F G C
And wiped a tear from the side of my face
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Dm F C G
And I hope that I see the world as you did cause I know
Dm F C G
A life with love is a life that’s been lived
[Chorus 2]
C Em F
So I’ll sing Hallelujah
G C Em F
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
G
When I fell down you’d be there
Am F C G
Holding me up, spread your wings as you go
Am F C G
And when God takes you back, he’ll say Hallelujah, you’re home
[Bridge]
C Em F

Ooh ooh ooh
Am G F
Ooh ooh ooh
