[Intro] F#m C#9

F#m                    C#9          F#m
I watch the work of my kin bold and boyful
F#m                    C#9        F#m
Toying somewhere between love and abuse
E                        A
Calling to join them the wretched and joyful
F#m                    C#9           F#m
Shaking the wings of their terrible youths

F#m                       C#9       F#m
Freshly dissolved in some frozen devotion
F#m              C#9         F#m
No more alone or myself could I be
E                          A
Looks like a strain to the arms that were open
F#m                      C#9        F#m
No shortage of sordid, no protest from me

       F#m
With her sweetened breath
        A
And her tongue so mean
          E                           F#m
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene
         F#m
With her straw-blonde hair
         A
Her arms hard and lean
          E                            F#m
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene

F#m                    C#9          F#m
Feeling more human and hooked on her flesh
F#m                    C#9          F#m
I lay my heart down with the rest at her feet
E                         A
Fresh from the fields, all fetor and fertile
F#m                    C#9          F#m
Bloody and raw, but I swear it is sweet

F#m
With her sweetened breath
        A
And her tongue so mean
          E                           F#m
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene
         F#m
With her straw-blonde hair
         A
Her arms hard and lean
          E                            F#m
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene

Bm  F#m  C#m  D  D  A F#m C#9

   F#m                      C#9           F#m
And lease this confusion, I'll wander the concrete
F#m                 C#9        F#m
Wonder if better now having survived
E                        A
Jarring of judgement and reasons
      F#m                               C#9
Defeat the sweet heat of her breath in my mouth
  F#m
I'm alive

F#m
With her sweetened breath
        A
And her tongue so mean
          E                           F#m
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene
         F#m
With her straw-blonde hair
         A
Her arms hard and lean
          E                            F#m
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene
