Lyrics

Seen my share of bro (G)ken ha los,

fold (G)ed wings that (Csus2)used to (G)fly.

They’ve all gone

wher ev er (G)they go,

bro (G)ken ha los that (Csus2)used to (G)shine.

An gels come down from (G)the heav ens

just (G)to help us (Csus2)on our (G)way.

Come to teach us, then (G)they leave us,

and they find (G)some oth er (Csus2)soul to (G)save.

Seen my share of bro (G)ken ha los,

fold (G)ed wings that (Csus2)used to (G)fly.

They’ve all gone

wher ev er (G)they go,

bro (G)ken ha los that (Csus2)used to (G)shine,

bro (G)ken ha los that (Csus2)used to (G)shine.

Don’t go look in’ for (G)the rea sons.

Don’t (G)go ask in’ (Csus2)Je sus (G)why.

We’re not meant to know (G)the an swers.

They (G)be long to the by and (G)by.

They be (G)long to the by and (G)by.

bro (G)ken ha los that (Csus2)used to (G)shine,

bro (G)ken ha los that (Csus2)used to (G)shine.
