it must be nice in heaven to have an angel
  F                               G
help heal the subtle silence in your head

F          Em      Am
so no more crying tonight

and yelling from the pain

silent stories i have told you

all the silent spaces in your head

the monkey bars love lightning

empty playgrounds of the living
