NB for beginners, ignore the variations and just play normal C and G chords throughout, it's easier.
I put them in because it does sound better to play them, but it's not completely necessary.
[Intro]
G G G/F# Em Cadd9 G
[Verse 1]
G G/F# Em
White lips, pale face, breathing in snowflakes
Cadd9 G A7sus4
Burnt lungs, sour taste
G G/F# Em
Light’s gone, day’s end, struggling to pay rent
Cadd9 G
Long nights, strange men
[Pre-Chorus]
Am7 C G
* *
And they say she’s in the Class A Team, stuck in her daydream
D/F# Am7 C
*
Been this way since 18, but lately her face seems, slowly sinking, wasting
G D/F#
*
Crumbling like pastries, and they scream the worst things in life come free to us
[Chorus 1]
Em Cadd9 G
Cos she's just under the upperhand, and go mad for a couple of grams
Em Cadd9 G
And she don’t want to go outside tonight
Em Cadd9 G
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland, or sells love to another man
Em Cadd9 G D/F# Em Cadd9 G
It’s too cold outside for angels to fly,
Em Cadd9 G G/F#
for angels to fly
[Verse 2]
G G/F# Em
Ripped gloves, raincoat, tried to swim and stay afloat
Cadd9 G A7sus4
Dry house, wet clothes
G G/F# Em
Loose change, bank notes, weary-eyed, dry throat
Cadd9 G
Call girl, no phone
[Pre-Chorus]
Am7 C G
* *
And they say she’s in the Class A Team, stuck in her daydream
D/F# Am7 C
*
Been this way since 18, but lately her face seems, slowly sinking, wasting
G D/F#
*
Crumbling like pastries, and they scream the worst things in life come free to us
[Chorus 1]
Em Cadd9 G
Cos she's just under the upperhand, and go mad for a couple of grams
Em Cadd9 G
And she don’t want to go outside tonight
Em Cadd9 G
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland, or sells love to another man
Em Cadd9 G D/F# Am7
It’s too cold outside for angels to fly
[Bridge]
Am7 C Em
*
An angel will die, covered in white
G/F# G
Closed eye and hoping for a better life
Am7 C Dadd4 Em C G D/F#
* slide * *
This time, we’ll fade out tonight, straight down the line
Em C G D/F#
* *
Straight down the line
[Pre-Chorus]
Am7 C G
* *
And they say she’s in the Class A Team, stuck in her daydream
D/F# Am7 C
*
Been this way since 18, but lately her face seems, slowly sinking, wasting
G D/F#
*
Crumbling like pastries, and they scream the worst things in life come free to us
[Chorus 2]
Em Cadd9 G
And we're all under the upperhand, and go mad for a couple of grams
Em Cadd9 G
And we don’t want to go outside tonight
Em Cadd9 G
And in a pipe we'll fly to the Motherland, or sell love to another man
Em Cadd9 G D/F# Em Cadd9 G
It’s too cold outside for angels to fly,
Em Cadd9 G G/F#
for angels to flyyyyy
Em Cadd9 G G/F# Em Cadd9 G
Flyyyy, flyyyyyy, angels to fly, fly, flyyy
D/F# G
Or angels to die
