The a Team

[First Part]

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

[Chorus]

Am7                             C
And they say she's in the Class A 
Team
                G
Stuck in her daydream
                    D              
Been this way since 18, but lately 
    Am7
her face seems
                  C
Slowly sinking, wasting
                G
Crumbling like pastries

And they scream
D
The worst things in life come free 
to us
           Em         C      G
Cos we're just under the upperhand
G
And go mad for a couple of grams
Em                   C        
And she don't want to go outside 
    G
tonight
       Em                     
And in a pipe she flies to the 
  C
Motherland
    G
Or sells love to another man

Em         C
It's too cold outside 

G              Em
For angels to fly
D          Em
Angels to fly

[Second Part]

Continues after the ad
G
Ripped gloves, raincoat
                           Em
Tried to swim and stay afloat
         C           G
Dry house, wet clothes

Loose change, bank notes
                    Em
Weary-eyed, dry throat
        C          G
Call girl, no phone

[Chorus]

Am7                             C
And they say she's in the Class A 
Team
                G
Stuck in her daydream
                    D              
Been this way since 18, but lately 
    Am7
her face seems
                  C
Slowly sinking, wasting
                G
Crumbling like pastries

And they scream
D
The worst things in life come free 
to us
Em                       C
Cos we're just under the upperhand
G
And go mad for a couple of grams
Em                    C          
And she don't want to go outside 
G
tonight
       Em                     
And in a pipe she flies to the 
  C
Motherland
    G
Or sells love to another man

Em         C
It's too cold outside 

G              Em
For angels to fly
Am7           C
An angel will die

[Third Part]

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

[Chorus]

Am7                             C
And they say she's in the Class A 
Team
                G
Stuck in her daydream
                    D              
Been this way since 18, but lately 
    Am7

                  C
Slowly sinking, wasting
                G
Crumbling like pastries

And they scream

to us
Em                       C
Cos we're just under the upperhand
G
And go mad for a couple of grams
Em                    C          
And she don't want to go outside 
G

       Em                     
And in a pipe she flies to the 
  C
Motherland
    G
Or sells love to another man

Em         C
It's too cold outside 

G              Em
For angels to fly
D          Em
Angels to fly
C         Em
To fly, fly
G        Em       D        Em
Angels to fly, to fly, to fly
G          Em
Angels to die
