Em C G G
G White lips, pale face,
 Breathing in D snow-Emflakes,
 Burnt C lungs, sour G taste.
G Lights gone, days end
G Struggling to D pay Em rent,
 Long nights, C strange G men.
 &Am they say shes in the Class C A Team
 Stuck in her G daydream,
 Been this way since D 18,
 but lately her Am face seems
 Slowly sinking, C wasting
 Crumbling like G pastries and they scream
 The D worst things in life come free to us,
 Coz were Em just under the C upper hand
G And go mad for a couple grams
Em And she dont want to
C go out-Gside tonight
 And in a Em pipe
 she flies to the C Motherland
G Or sells love to another man,
Em Its too C cold out-Gside
G For angels to Em fly C G 
G Angels to Em fly C G 
G Ripped gloves, raincoat,
G Tried to swim and D stay a-Emfloat,
 Dry C house, wet G clothes.
G Loose change, bank notes,
G Weary-eyed, D dry Em throat,
 Call C girl, no G phone.
 &Am they say shes in the Class C A Team
 Stuck in her G daydream,
 Been this way since D 18,
 but lately her Am face seems
 Slowly sinking, C wasting
 Crumbling like G pastries and they scream
 The D worst things in life come free to us
 Coz were Em just under the C upper hand
G And go mad for a couple grams
Em And she dont want to
C go out-Gside tonight
 And in a Em pipe
 she flies to the C Motherland
G Or sells love to another man,
Em Its too C cold out-Gside
G For angels to Em fly C G 
G Angels to Em fly C G 
Am An angel will C die.
 Covered in G white,
 Closed G eye,
 And D hoping for a better D life,
Am This time, well fade out to-Cnight
C Straight down the line
Em C G G
Em D G G
 & Am they say shes in the ClassC A Team
 Stuck in her G daydream,
 Been this way since D 18,
 but lately her Am face seems
 Slowly sinking, C wasting
 Crumbling like G pastries and they scream
 The D worst things in life come free to us
