The A Team

CAPO 2 TRASTE

 

INTRO

 

G C G C G C G Em

 

G                                    D/F#      Em

White lips, pale face, breathing in snowflakes

C9                  G    C

Burnt lungs, sour taste

G                                          D/F#      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/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

           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                  Em

It’s too cold outside for angels to fly,

C  G       C         G

         for angels to fly

 

G                                               D/F#   E

Ripped gloves, raincoat, tried to swim and stay afloat

C9             G       C

Dry house, wet clothes

G                                       D/F#     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             

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

           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                  Em

It’s too cold outside for angels to fly,

 

Am7            C                  Em

An angel will die, covered in white

               G

Closed eye and hoping for a better life

Am7                        C     

This time, we’ll fade out tonight, straight down the line

 

Em C9 G D/F# C G

 

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       C         G       C  G

         for angels to fly

to fly,

               Em       C       G

for angels to fly, to fly, to fly

    D/F#         G

or angels to die
