The a Team

Intro: G  C  G  C  G  C  G  G/F#

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

Am7                              C                   G
And they say she's in the Class A Team, stuck in her daydream
                    D               Am7                          C
Been this way since 18, but lately her face seems, slowly sinking, wasting
               G                              D
Crumbling like pastries, and they scream the worst things in life come free to us
          Em          C            G
Cos she's just under the upperhand, and go mad for a couple of grams
Em                   C        G
And she don't want to go outside tonight
          Em                 C           G
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland, or sells love to another man
Em       C        G       D/F#      Em
It's too cold outside for angels to fly,
 C    G          Em   C   G    G/F#
for angels to fly

G                                  G             Em
Ripped gloves, raincoat, tried to swim and stay afloat
     C           G       C
Dry house, wet clothes
G                                       G  Em
Loose change, bank notes, weary-eyed, dry throat
        C      G
Call girl, no phone

Am7                              C                    G
And they say she's in the Class A Team, stuck in her daydream
                    D/F#               Am7                          C

It's too cold outside for angels to fly,
 C    G         Em   C   G    G/F#
for angels to fly

Am7           C               Em
An angel will die, covered in white
       G/F#    G
Closed eye and hoping for a better life
Am7                      C -slide-D
Em   C   G  D/F#
This time, we'll fade out tonight, straight down the line
                    Em   C  G  D/F#
Straight down the line

Am7                              C                   G
And they say she's in the Class A Team, stuck in her daydream

Em       C        G       D/F#      Em
It's too cold outside for angels to fly, to fly to fly
    D        G
or angels to die
