The A Team

Capo 2

C
White lips, pale face

Am
Breathing in snowflakes

F C F
Burnt lungs, sour taste

C
Light's gone, day's end

    Am
Struggling to pay rent

F C F
Long nights, strange men

        Dm
And they say

   F
She's in the Class A Team

    C
Stuck in her daydream

G
Been this way since 18

Dm
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 F
Cos we're just under the upperhand

C       G
And go mad for a couple of grams

Am F C G
And she don't want to go outside tonight

Am F
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland

C G
Or sells love to another man

Am F C
It's too cold outside

G      Am F C
For angels to fly

Am F C
Angels to fly

C
Ripped gloves, raincoat

Am
Tried to swim and stay afloat

F   C F
Dry house, wet clothes

C
Loose change, bank notes

    Am
Weary-eyed, dry throat

F      C F
Call girl, no phone

        Dm
And they say

   F
She's in the Class A Team

    C
Stuck in her daydream

G
Been this way since 18

Dm
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 F
Cos we're just under the upperhand

C       G
And go mad for a couple of grams

Am F C G
And she don't want to go outside tonight

Am F
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland

C G
Or sells love to another man

Am F C
It's too cold outside

G      Am F C
For angels to fly

Am F C
Angels to fly

Dm      F
An angel will die

Am
Covered in white
Closed eye

         C
And hoping for a better life

Dm     F G
This time, we'll fade out tonight

    Am F C G
Straight down the line

        Dm
And they say

   F
She's in the Class A Team

    C
Stuck in her daydream

G
Been this way since 18

Dm
But lately her face seems

Slowly sinking, wasting

C
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream

C G
Or sells love to another man

Am F C
It's too cold outside

G      Am F C
For angels to fly

Am F C
Angels to fly
To fly, fly

   G       C
Angels to die
