The a Team

Intro: Em  C  G

G                                   D/F#    Em
White lips, pale face, breathing in snowflakes
       C            G
Burnt lungs, sour taste
G                                  D/F#    Em
Light’s gone, day’s end, struggling to pay rent
       C              G
Long nights, strange men

    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
          Em           C            G
Cos we're just under the upperhand, and go mad for a couple of grams
Em                    C      G
And she don’t want to go outside tonight
          Em                  C            G                           D/F#
And in a pipe she flies to the motherland, or sells love to another man
 Em           C       G     D/F#     Em
It’s too cold outside for angels to fly,
 C     G      D/F#     Em    C   G
          for angels to fly

G                                        D/F#    Em
Ripped gloves, raincoat, tried to swim and stay afloat
     C         G
Dry house, wet clothes
G                                       D/F#   Em
Loose change, bank notes, weary-eyed, dry throat
     C         G
Call girl, no phone

    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
          Em           C            G
Cos we're just under the upperhand, and go mad for a couple of grams
Em                    C        G
And she don’t want to go outside tonight
          Em                  C            G                          D/F#
And in a pipe she flies to the motherland, or sells love to another man
Em           C       G        D4/F#      Em
It’s too cold outside for angels to fly,


Am7               C              Em
   an angel will die, covered in white
               G                        D/F#
Closed eye and hoping for a better life
Am7                      C
This time, we’ll fade out tonight, straight down the line

           angels to fly

Or angels to die
