Pretty straightforward song. Between all the (G) and (Em) chords, walk down with an F# transition note on the second fret of the low E string.

Intro: (C)(G)(D)(G)(Em)(D)(G)

(G)Can you fix this? It's a (C)broken (G)heart
It was (Em)fine, but it (D)just fell a(G)part
It was (Em)mine, but now I (C)give it to (G)you
Cause you can (Em)fix it, you (D)know what to (G)do

(C)Let (G)your love (D)cover (G)me
(Em)Like a pair of (D)angel (G)wings
(Em)You (Bm)are my (C)fami(G)ly (Em)
You are my (D)fami(G)ly

(G)We stood outside in the (C)summer (G)rain
Different (Em)people with (D)a common (G)pain
A (Em)simple box in that (C)hard red (G)clay
Where we (Em)left him to (D)always re(G)main

(C)Let (G)your love (D)cover (G)me
(Em)Like a pair of (D)angel (G)wings
(Em)You (Bm)are my (C)fami(G)ly (Em)
You are my (D)fami(G)ly

And the (G)child who played with the (C)moon and (G)stars
Waves a (Em)snatch of hay in (D)a common (G)barn
In the (Em)lonely house of (C)Adam's (G)fall
Lies a (Em)child, it's just a (D)child that's (G)all

Crying (C)let (G)your love (D)cover (G)me
(Em)Like a pair of (D)angel (G)wings
(Em)You (Bm)are my (C)fami(G)ly (Em)
You are my (D)fami(G)ly
(Em)You (Bm)are my (C)fami(G)ly (Em)
You are my (D)fami(G)ly
