[Intro]

G G G G G G G G D D Em Em C C G G G G


[Verse 1]

G G
White lips, pale face,
D D Em Em
Breathing in snowflakes,
C C G G
Burnt lungs, sour taste.
G G
Light's gone, day's end
G G D D Em Em
Struggling to pay rent,
C C G G
Long nights, strange men.


[Pre-Chorus]

Am Am C C
And they say she's in the Class A A Team,
G G
Stuck in her daydream,
D D Am Am
Been this way since 18, but lately her face seems
C C
Slowly sinking, wasting
G G
Crumbling like pastries

And they scream
D D
The worst things in life come free to us,


[Chorus]

Em Em C C
Coz we're just under the upper hand
G G
And go mad for a couple grams
Em Em C C G G
And she don't want to go outside tonight
Em Em C C
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
G G
Or sells love to another man,
Em Em C C G G
It's too cold outside
G G Em Em C C G G
For angels to fly
G G Em Em C C G G
Angels to fly


[Verse 2]

G G
Ripped gloves, raincoat,
G G D D Em Em
Tried to swim and stay afloat,
C C G G
Dry house, wet clothes.
G G
Loose change, bank notes,
G G D D Em Em
Weary-eyed, dry throat,
C C G G
Call girl, no phone.


[Pre-Chorus]

Am Am C C
And they say she's in the Class A A Team,
G G
Stuck in her daydream,
D D Am Am
Been this way since 18, but lately her face seems
C C
Slowly sinking, wasting,
G G
Crumbling like pastries,

And they scream,
D D
The worst things in life come free to us,


[Chorus]

Em Em C C
Coz we're just under the upper hand,
G G
And go mad for a couple of grams,
Em Em C C G G
And she don't want to go outside tonight,
Em Em C C
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland,
G G
Or sells love to another man,
Em Em C C G G
It's too cold outside,
G G Am Am
For angels to fly,


[Bridge]

Am Am C C
An angel will die.
G G
Covered in white,
G G
Closed eye,
D D D D
And hoping for a better life,
Am Am C C
This time, we'll fade out tonight
C C
Straight down the line


[Instrumental]

Em Em C C G G G G Em Em D D G G G G


[Pre-Chorus]

Am Am C C
And they say she's in the Class A A Team,
G G
Stuck in her daydream,
D D Am Am
Been this way since 18, but lately her face seems
C C
Slowly sinking, wasting,
G G
Crumbling like pastries

And they scream,
D D
The worst things in life come free to us,


[Chorus]

Em Em C C
Coz we're all under the upper hand,
G G
And go mad for a couple of grams,
Em Em C C G G
And she don't want to go outside tonight,
Em Em C C
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland,
G G
Or sells love to another man
Em Em C C G G
It's too cold outside,
G G Em Em C C G G
For angels to fly
G G Em Em C C G G
Angels to fly


[Outro]

Em Em C C G G
To fly, fly
Em Em D D G G
Angels to fly, to fly, to fly
G G G G
Angels to die.
