Intro: | | | | |
A E F#m
1. White lips, pale face Breath-ing in snow-flakes
D A
Burnt lungs, sour taste
A E F#m
Light's gone, day's end Strug-gling to pay rent
D A
Long nights, strange men
Bm7 D
** And they say She's in the Class A Team
A E
Stuck in her day-dream Been this way since eigh-teen
Bm7 D
But late-ly her face seems Slowly sink-ing, wast-ing
A
Crumbl-ing like past-ries And they scream
E
The worst things in life come free to us
F#m D
'Cause we're just un-der the up-per hand
A
And go mad for a couple grams
F#m D A
And she don't want to go out-side To-night
F#m D
And in a pipe she flies to the Mo-ther-land
A
Or sells love to a-no-ther man
F#m D A
It's too co-o-old out-si-i-ide
A F#m7 D A
For an-gels to fly - | |
F#m7 D A
An-gels to fly - | |
A E F#m
2. Ripped gloves, rain-coat Tried to swim and stay a-float
D A
Dry house, wet clothes
A E F#m
Loose change, bank notes Wea-ry-eyed, dry throat
D A
Call girl, no phone
Bm7 D
** And they say She's in the Class A Team
A E
Stuck in her day-dream Been this way since eigh-teen
Bm7 D
But late-ly her face seems Slowly sink-ing, wast-ing
A
Crumbl-ing like past-ries And they scream
E
The worst things in life come free to us
F#m D
'Cause we're just un-der the up-per hand
A
And go mad for a couple grams
F#m D A
But she don't want to go out-side To-night
F#m D
And in a pipe she flies to the Mo-ther-land
A
Sells love to a-no-ther man
F#m D A
It's too co-o-old out-si-i-ide
Bm7 D
For an-gels to fly An an-gel will die
F#m
Covered in white
A
Closed eye And hop-ing for a bet-ter life
Bm7 D
This time, we'll fade out to-night
Straight down the line...

𝄑
Beginners: You can replace all extended chords with simpler versions, i.e., A instead of Amaj7; D instead of Dmaj7; F#m or F#m7 instead of F#m9; E instead of E/G# etc. They all sound fine.
