G G G G

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
