Verse:
G (4)
White lips, pale face, breathing in snowflakes,
Em (2) G (2)

G (4)
Light”s gone, day”s end, Struggling to pay rent,
Em (2) G (2)
Long nights, strange men.
Chorus:
Am7 (2) C (2)
And they say she”s in the Class A Team,
G (2) D (2)

Am7 (2) C (2)

G (2) D/F# (2)

Em C G (2)
“Cause we”re just under the upper hand, and go mad for a couple of grams,
Em C G (2)
. And she don”t want to go outside tonight,
Em C G (2)
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland, or sells love to another man,
Em C G D/F#
. It”s too cold outside, for angels to
Em C G (2)
fly, Angels to
Em C G (2)
fly

Em (2) G (2)
Call girl, no phone.

This time, we”ll fade out tonight, straight down the line.
