Em

[Verse 1]
Em                     G
Precious and fragile things
Em                     G
Need special handling
Em                     G                      C    Am
My God what have we done to you
Em                      G
We always tried to share

The tenderest of care

Now look what we have put you through

Things get damaged
G                       Em
Things get broken
Em                     G
I thought we'd manage
G                       C
But words left unspoken
C                       G
Left us so brittle
G                       Am
There was so little left to give

Angels with silver wings
Em                        G
Shouldn't know suffering
Em                    G                  C    Am
I wish I could take the pain for you
Em                  G
If god has a master plan
Em                  G
That only he understands
Em                      G                       C     Am
I hope it’s your eyes he’s seeing through

Things get broken

But words left unspoken

Left us so brittle

There was so little left to give

Em                           G
I pray you learn to trust
Em                       G
To have faith in both of us
Em               G                          C    Am
And keep room in your heart for two

[Chorus]
C                         G
Things get damaged
G                         Em
Things get broken
Em                       G
I thought we'd manage

But words left unspoken
C                         G
Left us so brittle
G                         Am
There was so little left to give
