Tabbed By Noah Suarez
 
[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    Em
Struggling to pay rent,
               C      G
Long nights, strange men.
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
      Am                         Cadd9
And they say she's in the Class A Team,
              G
Stuck in her daydream,
                     D                  Am
Been this way since 18, but lately her face seems
                  Cadd9
Slowly sinking, wasting
                G
Crumbling like pastries
 
And they scream
     D
The worst things in life come free to us,
 
 
[Chorus]
          Em              Cadd9
Cuz we're just under the upper hand
G
And go mad for a couple grams
Em                  Cadd9      G
And she don't want to go outside tonight
          Em                    Cadd9
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
  G
Or sells love to another man,
Em        Cadd9     G
It's too cold outside
    D         Em      C    G
For angels to fly
            Em      C    G
Angels to fly
 
 
[Verse 2]
G
Ripped gloves, and raincoat,
                    D    Em
Tried to swim and stay afloat,
            C    G
Dry house, wet clothes.
G
Loose change, bank notes,
              D    Em
Weary-eyed, dry throat,
            C   G
Call girl, no phone.
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
     Am                          Cadd9
And they say she's in the Class A Team,
               G
Stuck in her daydream,
                    D                  Am
Been this way since 18, but lately her face seems
                 Cadd9
Slowly sinking, wasting,
                G
Crumbling like pastries,
 
And they scream,
     D
The worst things in life come free to us,
 
 
[Chorus]
Em                       Cadd9
Cuz we're just under the upper hand,
G
And go mad for a couple grams,
Em                    Cadd9    G
And she don't want to go outside tonight,
          Em                    Cadd9
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland,
 G
Or sells love to another man,
Em       Cadd9      G
It's too cold outside,
    D           Am
For angels to fly,
 
 
[Bridge]
                C
An angel will die.
              Em
Covered in white,
 
Closed eye,
     G
And hoping for a better life,
  Am                       C
This time, we'll fade out tonight
                   Em  C  G
Straight down the line
 
Em  C  G
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
      Am                         Cadd9
And they say she's in the Class A Team,
                G
Stuck in her daydream,
                    D                  Am
Been this way since 18, but lately her face seems
                  Cadd9
Slowly sinking, wasting,
                G
Crumbling like pastries
 
And they scream,
     D
The worst things in life come free to us,
 
 
[Final Chorus]
Em                      Cadd9
Cuz we're all under the upper hand,
G
And go mad for a couple grams,
Em                    Cadd9   G
And we don't want to go outside tonight,
          Em                 Cadd9
And in a pipe we fly to the Motherland,
 G
Or sell love to another man
Em         Cadd9    G
It's too cold outside,
    D         Em    C    G
For angels to fly
            Em  C  G
Angels to fly
   Em  C   G
To fly, fly
           Em      C       G
Angels to fly, to fly, to fly
D          G
Angels to die.

It's actually a perfect tab, except for the alignment. But just listen to the song a few times and you're able to play it fine. Good job!

& also it is originally played with the capo on the 2nd fret.... But it doesn't really matter

Play a Dsus4/F# (2-0-0-2-3-3) instead of the F# & Am7 (x-0-2-2-1-3) instead of Am, I think that's how ed plays it. Except form that perfect tab.
