[INTRO] A F#m D A
[VERSE]
A
White lips, pale face
A                   Amaj7 F#m
Breathing in the snowflakes
               D      A
Burnt lungs, sour taste
A
Light's gone, day's end
A                  Amaj7 F#m
Struggling to pay rent
             D        A
Long nights, strange men

[PRE-CHORUS]
   Bm
And they say
                   D
She's in the Class A Team
               A
Stuck in her daydream
                    Amaj7
Been this way since 18
                  Bm
But lately, her face seems
                     D
Slowly sinking, wasting
                  A
Crumbling like pastries

And they scream
        E
The worst things in life come free to us

[CHORUS]
             F#m           D
Cause she's just under the upper hand
A
And go mad for a couple of grams
 F#m                  D            A
And she don't want to go outside tonight
          F#m                   D
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
    A
Or sells love to another man
F#m            D
It's too cold outside
A       E     F#m D A
For angels to fly
A          F#m D A
Angels to fly

[VERSE]
A
Ripped gloves, raincoat
                    Amaj7  F#m
Tried to swim and stay afloat
           D       A
Dry house, wet clothes
A
Loose change, bank notes
              Amaj7  F#m
Weary-eyed, dry throat
          D      A
Call girl, no phone

But lately, her face seems

Crumbling like pastries

The worst things in life come free to us

A

And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
    A
Or sells love to another man
F#m            D
It's too cold outside
A       E    Bm
For angels to fly
 
[BRIDGE]
              D
An angel will die
D            F#m
Covered in white
                  A
Closed eyes and hoping for a better life
Bm                           D
This time, we'll fade out tonight
D                    F#m D A
Straight down the line

[INSTRUMENTAL: Guitar] F#m D A

Angels to fly

Fly, fly
              F#m 
For angels to fly
    D        A
To fly, to fly
 E             A
For angels to die
