[Verse 1]
I kept [Am]an angel
In a box beneath my bed
Little [F]beast had broke her jaw
[Am]And I tried to fix her head
They said I had to put her back
That I had to put her back
exactly where I found her
But I know, I saw
[F]That she was doing good
Until the cat [Am]got her

[Verse 2]
And I came to write a letter
But my pen was full of hymns
[F]I came to drown a sorrow
[Am]It seems they've [F]learned [Am]to swim
Mouth full of pins and heart
pumping gasoline
It's late
I'm still at the sewing machine
Stitching up strays fifteen years
[F]But this one[Am]'s mean
Well I fixed you up
When they said you were past repair
[G]And I stitched you up[Am]
I thread a needle with my hair
And I fixed you up
When you were still a common sparrow
But look who's on the shoulder now
When the road goes narrow

[Verse 3]
I kept [Am]an angel
In a box beneath my bed
Little bitch [F]had broke [Am]her jaw
And I tried to fix her head
They said I had to put her back
That I had to put her back
exactly where I found her
But I know, I [F]saw
[Am]That she was doing good[F]
Until the cat [Am]got her

[Verse 4]
Well I'm putting [Am]you out of my misery
We ain't got much but
[F]we'[Am]ve got his[F]tor[Am]y
It was a mercy kill
No
It was a suicide
No
It was an accident
No
Well at least I tried
With soft drugs and [F]seam ripper
Tough love and [Am]tape measure
Stitching up boys is different that way
You fix a bird, you buy a cage
You fix a man
You fix a man,

[Verse 5]
When I [Am]ran out of thread
I couldn't let go
But that's not sewing, that's
That's just [F]poking holes
[Am]And it's a strange breed
A different kind of creature
Looks for love through the eye of a needle
But the creed of the seamstress
is
That you're pretty in pieces

[Verse 6]
I kept [Am]an angel
In a box beneath my bed
Little beast had broke her jaw
[F]And I [Am]tried to fix her head
They said I had to put her back
That I had to put her back
exactly where I found her
But I know, I [F]saw
That she was doing good
Until the cat [Am]got her

[Verse 7]
Take a seat and let me get a look at [Am]your
face
Busted, back's been broke for days
Not much, little something for the pain
Don't fuss,
or I'll never get a seam to lay straight
And I keep it clean as I can with just
Just the machine and the mattress plus
I never did need for a pattern, just
Some good restraints and my

bedside manner
[Am]

[Verse 8]
When I [Am]ran out of thread, I couldn't let go
But that's not sewing, that's
That's just poking holes
When I ran out of thread, I couldn't let go
But that's not sewing, that's
That's just poking holes
