[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

[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]
