The A Team Chords

The C chords throughout the song can be played as normal C's (X-3-2-0-1-0), C (let's call it C*) with an added
G note by playing the 3rd fret of the E string (X-3-2-0-1-3), or as Cadd9's (X-3-2-0-3-3). You can also mix
it up and play C through the verse, C* in the chorus (You can also try keeping 3rd fret on the E string pinned
on all the chords throughout the chorus) and Cadd9 in the bridge. Have fun with it, it's a fun song to play
anyway.....about a seriously hard life but still a fun song, musically, to play around with.
 
Capo 2
 
[Intro]
 
G    D/F# Em    C G
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
G
White lips, pale face,
             D/F#     Em
Breathing in snowflakes,
            C     G
Burnt lungs, sour taste.
G
Light's gone, day's end,
              D/F#    Em
Struggling to pay rent,
             C       G
Long nights, strange men.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Am7                             C
And they say she's in the Class A Team,
             G
Stuck in her daydream,
                    D/F#               Am7
Been this way since 18, but lately her face seems
                C
Slowly sinking, wasting,
               G
Crumbling like pastries,
 
And they scream,
    D/F#
The worst things in life come free to us,
          Em             C
Cos we're just under the upperhand,
G
And go mad for a couple grams,
Em                    C       G
And she don't want to go outside tonight,
         Em                    C
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland,
G
Or sells love to another man,
Em         C         G
It's too cold outside,
    D/F#      Em  C  G
For angels to fly,
          Em  C  G
Angels to fly,
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
G
Ripped gloves, raincoat,
                  D/F#      Em
Tried to swim and stay afloat,
           C    G
Dry house, wet clothes.
 
Loose change, bank notes,
            D/F#     Em
Weary-eyed, dry throat,
           C    G
Call girl, no phone.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Am7                             C
And they say she's in the Class A Team,
             G
Stuck in her daydream,
                    D/F#               Am7
Been this way since 18, but lately her face seems
                C
Slowly sinking, wasting,
               G
Crumbling like pastries,
 
And they scream,
    D/F#
The worst things in life come free to us,
          Em             C
Cos we're just under the upperhand,
G
And go mad for a couple grams,
Em                    C       G
And she don't want to go outside tonight,
         Em                    C
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland,
G
Or sells love to another man,
Em         C         G
It's too cold outside,
    D/F#      Am7
For angels to fly,
              C
An angel will die.
 
 
[Bridge]
 
           Em
Covered in white,
 
Closed eye,
    G
And hoping for a better life,
Am7                       C
This time, we'll fade out tonight,
                  Em   C   G   G
Straight down the line.
 
Em   C   G
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Am7                             C
And they say she's in the Class A Team,
             G
Stuck in her daydream,
                    D/F#               Am7
Been this way since 18, but lately her face seems
                C
Slowly sinking, wasting,
               G
Crumbling like pastries,
 
And they scream,
    D/F#
The worst things in life come free to us,
          Em             C
Cos we're just under the upperhand,
G
And go mad for a couple grams,
Em                    C        G
And she don't want to go outside tonight,
         Em                    C
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland,
G
Or sells love to another man,
Em         C        G
It's too cold outside,
G             Em  C  G
For angels to fly,
G         Em  C  G
Angels to fly,
    Em   C     G
To fly,     fly,
G         Em      C       G
Angels to fly, to fly, to fly,
D/F#      G
Angels to die.
