Angel In Lothian

Fadd9   Am7   C   G
Dm   Am7   C   G

[Verse 1]
Fadd9                 Am7
When an angel fell somewhere in 
Lothian
C              G                  
I was only a child but I trust my 
 Dm
eyes
                     Am7         C
She burnt up like a comet before me
                     G
Before I could even say "Hi"
Fadd9                 Am7
Saw kingdoms come and go in Bernicia
C                       G        
With a space station rattling 
       Dm
above my head
               Am7
And I saw the dead
           C    G
I saw the dead


[Verse 2]
Fadd9                 Am7
Back then, yeah, the door was always
 open
C                           G    
I'd come and go, back and forth, 
           Dm
anytime I need
                    Am7         
But I'm needing it more now than 
  C
ever

                   G
'Cause I'm fading away
Fadd9              Am7
And I claw at the door every bad 
night
C                   G            
But somehow it's blocked from thе
        Dm
 other side
                Am7          C
I claw 'til my skin comes apart
                G
Until I feel something

[Verse 3]
Fadd9                Am7
And I remember that pain in my 
mother
C                     G          
Being helpless and feckless and 
        Dm
far too young
                  Am7
My brother was spiraling down
          C                        
He said “Kid it's not me, it's this
  G
 town”
Fadd9                   Am7
So I rail against that feeling when 
it comes
C                   G            
I no longer have solitude behind 
      Dm
that door
              Am7          C
And I know drugs that can hold it
                   G
You gotta hold it yourself


[Verse 4]
Fadd9                  Am7
I wish an angel fell somewhere in 
Lothian
C                              G 
She could've fixed all the 
                 Dm
problems that I cannot fix
                    Am7
But one day I might have kids myself
      C                            
And hope that I don't fuck them up 
 G
myself

Hey!
