The A Team
View chords used in this chart
verse 1
G
White lips, pale face
G
Breathing in the snowflakes
C G
Burnt lungs, sour taste
G
Light's gone, day's end
G
Struggling to pay rent
C G
Long nights, strange men
Pre-Chorus
Em
And they say
C
She's in the Class A Team
G
Stuck in her daydream
G
Been this way since 18
Em
But lately, her face seems
C
Slowly sinking, wasting
G
Crumbling like pastries
G
And they scream
Em
The worst things in life come free to us
[Refrão]
Em C G
Cause she's just under the upper hand
G
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
G
Or sells love to another man
Em C G
It's too cold outside
Em C G
For angels to fly
Em C G
Angels to fly
verse 2
G
Ripped gloves, raincoat
G
Tried to swim and stay afloat
C G
Dry house, wet clothes
G
Loose change, bank notes
G
Weary-eyed, dry throat
C G
Call girl, no phone
Pre-Chorus
Em
And they say
C
She's in the Class A Team
G
Stuck in her daydream
G
Been this way since 18
Em
But lately, her face seems
C
Slowly sinking, wasting
G
Crumbling like pastries
G
And they scream
Em
The worst things in life come free to us
[Refrão]
Em C G
Cause she's just under the upper hand
G
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
G
Or sells love to another man
Em C G
It's too cold outside
Em C G
For angels to fly
Em C G
Angels to fly
Em
Fly
C G
Fly high
Em C
To fly, to fly
G
To fly
G
For angels to die
