[G]   [G]   [G/F#] [Em]  [Cadd9]  [G]
 
[Verse 1]
[G]                                 [G/F#]      [Em]
White lips, pale face, breathing in snowflakes
         [Cadd9]        [G]        [A7sus4]
Burnt lungs, sour taste
[G]                                      [G/F#]   [Em]
Light’s gone, day’s end, struggling to pay rent
          [Cadd9]       [G]
Long nights, strange men
 
[Pre-Chorus]
[Am7]                              [C*]                   [G*]
And they say she’s in the Class A Team, stuck in her daydream
                    [D/F#]               [Am7]                          [C*]
Been this way since 18, but lately her face seems, slowly sinking, wasting
               [G*]                            [D/F#]
Crumbling like pastries, and they scream the worst things in life come free to us
 
[Chorus 1]
          [Em]           [Cadd9]       [G]
Cos she's just under the upperhand, and go mad for a couple of grams
[Em]                    [Cadd9]    [G]
And she don’t want to go outside tonight
         [Em]                    [Cadd9]      [G]
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland, or sells love to another man
[Em]         [Cadd9]   [G]       [D/F#]      [Em]    [Cadd9]  [G]
It’s too cold outside for angels to fly,
              [Em]   [Cadd9]  [G]    [G/F#]
for angels to fly
 
[Verse 2]
[G]                                          [G/F#]       [Em]
Ripped gloves, raincoat, tried to swim and stay afloat
      [Cadd9]          [G]         [A7sus4]
Dry house, wet clothes
[G]                                     [G/F#]      [Em]
Loose change, bank notes, weary-eyed, dry throat
       [Cadd9]    [G]
Call girl, no phone
 
[Pre-Chorus]
[Am7]                              [C*]                   [G*]
And they say she’s in the Class A Team, stuck in her daydream
                    [D/F#]               [Am7]                          [C*]
Been this way since 18, but lately her face seems, slowly sinking, wasting
               [G*]                            [D/F#]
Crumbling like pastries, and they scream the worst things in life come free to us
 
[Chorus 1]
          [Em]           [Cadd9]       [G]
Cos she's just under the upperhand, and go mad for a couple of grams
[Em]                    [Cadd9]    [G]
And she don’t want to go outside tonight
         [Em]                    [Cadd9]      [G]
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland, or sells love to another man
[Em]         [Cadd9]   [G]       [D/F#]      [Am7]
It’s too cold outside for angels to fly
 
[Bridge]
[Am7]           [C*]              [Em]
An angel will die, covered in white
       [G/F#]    [G]
Closed eye and hoping for a better life
[Am7]                       [C*]  slide [Dadd4]            [Em]   [C*]   [G*]  [D/F#]
This time, we’ll fade out tonight, straight down the line
                    [Em]   [C*]  [G*]  [D/F#]
Straight down the line
 
[Pre-Chorus]
[Am7]                              [C*]                   [G*]
And they say she’s in the Class A Team, stuck in her daydream
                    [D/F#]               [Am7]                          [C*]
Been this way since 18, but lately her face seems, slowly sinking, wasting
               [G*]                            [D/F#]
Crumbling like pastries, and they scream the worst things in life come free to us
 
[Chorus 2]
          [Em]           [Cadd9]      [G]
And we're all under the upperhand, and go mad for a couple of grams
[Em]                   [Cadd9]    [G]
And we don’t want to go outside tonight
         [Em]                    [Cadd9]      [G]
And in a pipe we'll fly to the Motherland, or sell love to another man
[Em]         [Cadd9]   [G]       [D/F#]      [Em]    [Cadd9]  [G]
It’s too cold outside for angels to fly,
              [Em]   [Cadd9]  [G]   [G/F#]
for angels to flyyyyy
[Em]   [Cadd9] [G]            [G/F#] [Em]   [Cadd9]    [G]
Flyyyy, flyyyyyy, angels to  fly, fly, flyyy
   [D/F#]      [G]
Or angels to die
