The A Team

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

Pre-Chorus:
Am
And they say
Cadd9
She's in the Class А Team
G
Stuck in her daydream
D
Been this way since 18
Am
But lately her face seems
Cadd9
Slowly sinking, wasting
G
Crumbling like pastries
G
And they scream
D
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 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
It's too cold outside
Em C G
For angels to fly
Em C G
Angels to fly

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

Pre-Chorus:
Am
And they say
Cadd9
She's in the Class А Team
G
Stuck in her daydream
D
Been this way since 18
Am
But lately her face seems
Cadd9
Slowly sinking, wasting
G
Crumbling like pastries
G
And they scream
D
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 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
It's too cold outside
Am
For angels to fly

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

Pre-Chorus:
Am
And they say
Cadd9
She's in the Class А Team
G
Stuck in her daydream
D
Been this way since 18
Am
But lately her face seems
C
Slowly sinking, wasting
G
Crumbling like pastries
G
And they scream
D
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 of 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
Em C G
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       G
Angels to die
