1. White lips, pale face breathing in snowflakes,
C
G
burnt
lungs, sour taste.
G D Em
Light's gone, day's end, struggling
to pay rent
C
G
long
nights, strange men.
Am C G
And they say she's in the Class A Team, stuck
in her daydream,
D
been this way since eighteen, but
lately
Am C
her face seems slowly sinking,
wasting,
G
crumbling like pastries and they scream,
D
the worst things in life come
free to us.
Em C
+ ‘Cause we're just under
the upperhand,
G
and
go mad for a couple of grams,
Em
C G
and
she don't want to go outside tonight.
Em C
And in a pipe she flies to the
motherland,
G
or
sells love to another man,
Em C
G
D Em - C - G
D Em - C - G
it's too cold outside
for angels to fly, angels
to fl.........y.
G D Em
2. Ripped gloves, raincoat, tried
to swim and stay afloat,
C
G
dry
house, wet clothes.
G D Em
Loose change, bank notes, weary
eyed, dry throat,
C
G
call
girl, no phone. + CHORUS

+ ‘Cause we're just under
the upperhand,

and
go mad for a couple of grams,

and
she don't want to go outside tonight.

And in a pipe she flies to the
motherland,
G
or
sells love to another man,
Em C G D Am
it's
too cold outside for angels to fly,
C
Em
an angel will die,
covered in white,
G
closed
eye and hoping for a better life.
Am C Em
This time, we’ll fade out tonight, straight
down the line.
