Angel Of Small Death And The Codeine Scene Chords

[Intro]
 
Em    B7  Em  x2
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
Em                     B7            Em
I watch the work of my kin, bold and boyful
Em                       B7        Em
Toying somewhere between love and abuse
D                         G
Calling to join them, the wretched and joyful
Em                         B7        Em
Shaking the wings of their terrible youths
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Em                        B7       Em
Freshly disowned in some frozen devotion
Em                  B7          Em
No more alone or myself could I be.
D                           G
Lurched like a stray to the arms that were open,
   Em                     B7           Em
No shortage of sordid, no protest from me.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
        Em                        G
With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean
         D                            Em
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene.
        Em                          G
With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean,
         D                            Em
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene.
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
Em                     B7             Em
Feeling more human and hooked on her flesh,
  Em                         B7          Em
I lay my heart down with the rest at her feet.
D                          G
Fresh from the fields, all fetor and fertile,
Em                    B7          Em
Bloody and raw, but I swear it is sweet.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
        Em                        G
With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean
         D                            Em
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene.
        Em                          G
With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean,
         D                            Em
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene.
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Em   Bm   G     Am   C    D   G   G
Oh   Ooh  Oooh  Oh   Ooooohohoh
Am   Em   Bm    C    C    G
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
   Em                         B7         Em
In leash-less confusion, I'll wander the concrete,
Em                   B7        Em
Wonder if better now having survived.
D                        G
Jarring of judgement and reasons defeat,
          Em                       B7          Em
The sweet heat of her breath in my mouth, I'm alive.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
        Em                        G
With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean
         D                            Em
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene.
        Em                          G
With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean,
         D                            Em
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene.
 
        Em                        G
With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean
         D                            Em
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene.
        Em                          G
With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean,
         D                            Em              Em
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene.
