[Intro]
G     G   D/F# Em   C G

[Verse 1]
G                    
White lips, pale face
               D/F# Em 
Breathing in snowflakes
              C    G   
Burnt lungs, sour taste
G                      
Light's gone, day's end
              D/F# Em 
Struggling to pay rent
                C    G  
Long nights, strange men

[Pre-Chorus]
      Am    
And they say
                   C     
She's in the Class A Team
               G     
Stuck in her daydream
                    D/F#
Been this way since 18
                Am       
But lately her face seems
                 C     
Slowly sinking, wasting
                G      
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
     D/F#                               
The worst things in life come free to us

[Chorus]
            Em            C       
Cos we're just under the upperhand
G                            
And go mad for a couple 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  
It's too cold outside
     D        Em CG
For angels to fly
           EmCG
Angels to fly

[Verse 2]
G                      
Ripped gloves, raincoat
                    D/F#  Em 
Tried to swim and stay afloat
            C   G     
Dry house, wet clothes
G                       
Loose change, bank notes
             D/F# Em  
Weary-eyed, dry throat
           C    G  
Call girl, no phone

[Pre-Chorus]
      Am    
And they say
                   C     
She's in the Class A Team
              G      
Stuck in her daydream
                    D/F#
Been this way since 18
               Am        
But lately her face seems
                 C     
Slowly sinking, wasting
                G      
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
     D/F#                               
The worst things in life come free to us

[Chorus]
           Em                  C  
Cos we're just under the upperhand
G                            
And go mad for a couple 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  
It's too cold outside
     D        Am 
For angels to fly

[Bridge]
 Am            C 
An angel will die
             Em 
Covered in white
Closed eye
         G                  
And hoping for a better life
Am                         C     
This time, we'll fade out tonight
Straight down the line

[Interlude]
Em C G   x2

[Pre-Chorus]
      Am    
And they say
                   C     
She's in the Class A Team
              G      
Stuck in her daydream
                    D/F#
Been this way since 18
               Am        
But lately her face seems
                 C     
Slowly sinking, wasting
                G      
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
     D/F#                               
The worst things in life come free to us

[Chorus/Outro]
          Em             C       
Cos we're all under the upperhand
G                            
And go mad for a couple grams
Em                   C     G           
And we don't want to go outside tonight
          Em                 C        
And in a pipe we fly to the Motherland
G                          
Or sell love to another man
Em        C       G  
It's too cold outside
     D        Em CG
For angels to fly
            Em C G
Angels to fly
   Em C  G 
To fly, fly
           Em      C       G 
Angels to fly, to fly, to fly
   D/F#    G 
Angels to die
