Capo on 2nd fret, standard tuning
Chord listing at end.
[Verse]
G G/F# Em*
White lips, pale face, breathing in snowflakes
C G
Burnt lungs, sour taste
G G/F# Em
Light's gone, day's end, struggling to pay rent
C G
Long nights, strange men
*Strum G/F# once in pattern on way to Em.
[Pre-Chorus]
Am7 C2 G
And they say she's in the Class A Team, stuck in her daydream
D/F# Am7 C2
Been this way since 18, but lately her face seems, slowly sinking, wasting
G D/F#
Crumbling like pastries, and they scream the worst things in life come free to us
[Chorus]
Em C G
Cause we're just under the upperhand, and go mad for a couple of grams
Em C G
And she don't want to go outside tonight
Em C G
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland, or sells love to another man
Em C G Em C G
It's too cold outside for angels to fly
Em C G Em C G
Angels to fly
[Verse]
G G/F# Em
Ripped gloves, raincoat, tried to swim and stay afloat
C G
Dry house, wet clothes
G G/F# Em
Loose change, bank notes, weary-eyed, dry throat
C G
Call girl, no phone
[Pre-Chorus]
Am7 C2 G
And they say she's in the Class A Team, stuck in her daydream
D/F# Am7 C2
Been this way since 18, but lately her face seems, slowly sinking, wasting
G D/F#
Crumbling like pastries, and they scream the worst things in life come free to us
[Chorus]
Em C G
Cause we're just under the upperhand, and go mad for a couple of grams
Em C G
And she don't want to go outside tonight
Em C G
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland, or sells love to another man
Em C G Em C G
It's too cold outside for angels to fly
Em C G Em C G
Angels to fly
[Bridge]
Am7 C2 Em
An angel will die, covered in white
Em G
Closed eye and hoping for a better life
Am7 C2 Em
This time, we'll fade out tonight, straight down the line
G
Straight down the line
[Pre-Chorus]
Am7 C2 G
And they say she's in the Class A Team, stuck in her daydream
D/F# Am7 C2
Been this way since 18, but lately her face seems, slowly sinking, wasting
G D/F#
Crumbling like pastries, and they scream the worst things in life come free to us
[Chorus]
Em C G
Cause we're all under the upperhand, and go mad for a couple of grams
Em C G
And she don't want to go outside tonight
Em C G
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland, or sells love to another man
Em C G Em C G
It's too cold outside for angels to fly
Em C G Em C G
Angels to fly
Em C G Em C G
To fly, fly
Em C G Em C G
Or angels to die
