Intro: (D F#m Bm G7) D D White lips, pale face F#m Bm Breathing in snowflakes G D Burnt lungs, sour taste D Light's gone, day's end F#m Bm Struggling to pay rent G D Long nights, strange men Bm And they say G She's in the Class A Team D Stuck in her daydream A Been this way since 18 Bm But lately her face seems G Slowly sinking, wasting D Crumbling like pastries And they scream A The worst things in life come free to us Bm D Em Cos we're just under the upperhand G Bm And go mad for a couple of grams G D And she don't want to go outside tonight Bm D Em And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland G Bm Or sells love to another man G D It's too cold outside Bm For angels to fly G D Angels to fly D Ripped gloves, raincoat F#m Bm Tried to swim and stay afloat G D Dry house, wet clothes D Loose change, bank notes F#m Bm Weary-eyed, dry throat G D Call girl, no phone Bm And they say G She's in the Class A Team D Stuck in her daydream A Been this way since 18 Bm But lately her face seems G Slowly sinking, wasting D Crumbling like pastries And they scream A The worst things in life come free to us Bm D Em Cos we're just under the upperhand G Bm And go mad for a couple of grams G D And she don't want to go outside tonight Bm D Em And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland G Bm Or sells love to another man G D It's too cold outside Bm For angels to fly G D Angels to fly Bm G D Oooooooooooooooooh (2x) Bm And they say G She's in the Class A Team D Stuck in her daydream A Been this way since 18 Bm But lately her face seems G Slowly sinking, wasting D Crumbling like pastries And they scream A The worst things in life come free to us Bm D Em Cos we're just under the upperhand G Bm And go mad for a couple of grams G D And she don't want to go outside tonight Bm D Em And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland G Bm Or sells love to another man G D It's too cold outside Bm G For angels to fly D For angels to fly Bm G D To flyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy D For angels to die
