Birdy - The "A" team
Capo 2
[VERSE]
C
White lips, pale face
Em Am
Breathing in snowflakes
F
Burnt lungs, sour taste
C
Light's gone, day's end
Em Am
Struggling to pay rent
F C
Long nights, strange men
[CHORUS]
Am
And they say
F
She's in the class A team
C
Stuck in her daydream
G
Been this way since 18
Am
But lately her face seems
F
Slowly sinking, wasting
C
Crumbling like pastries
And they screAm
G
The worst things in life come free to us
Am C DM
'Cause we're just under the upper hand
F Am
And go mad for a couple of grams
F C
And she don't want to go outside tonight
Am C DM
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
F Am
Or sells love to another man
F C
It's too cold outside
Am
For angels to fly
F C
Angels to fly
[VERSE]
C
Ripped gloves, raincoat
Em Am
Tried to swim, stay afloat
F C
Dry house, wet clothes
C
Loose change, bank notes
Em Am
Weary-eyed, dry throat
F C
Cool girl, no phone
[CHORUS]
Am
And they say
F
She's in the class A team
C
Stuck in her daydream
G
Been this way since 18
Am
But lately her face seems
F
Slowly sinking, wasting
C
Crumbling like pastries
And they screAm
G
The worst things in life come free to us
Am C DM
'Cause we're just under the upper hand
F Am
And go mad for a couple of grams
F C
And she don't want to go outside tonight
Am C DM
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
F Am
Or sells love to another man
F C
It's too cold outside
Am
For angels to fly
F C
Angels to fly
[BRIDGE]
Am F C
Ooh, ooh,
Am F C
Ooh, ooh
Am
And they say
F
She's in the class A team
C
Stuck in her daydream
G
Been this way since 18
Am
But lately her face seems
F
Slowly sinking, wasting
C
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
G
The worst things in life come free to us
Am C DM
'Cause we're just under the upper hand
F Am
And go mad for a couple of grams
F C
And she don't want to go outside tonight
Am C DM
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
F Am
Or sells love to another man
F C
It's too cold outside
Am
For angels to fly
F C
Angels to fly
Am F C
To fly,
C
For angels to die
