[Intro]

A A E E F#m F#m D D A A

[Verse]

A A
White lips, pale face
E E
Breathing in snowflakes
F#m F#m D D A A
Burnt lungs, sour taste
A A
Light's gone, day's end
E E
Struggling to pay rent
D D A A
Long nights, strange men



[Pre-chorus]

Bm7 Bm7
And they say
D D
She's in the Class A A Team
A A
Stuck in her daydream
E E
Been this way since eighteen
Bm7 Bm7
But lately her face seems
D D
Slowly sinking, wasting
A A
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
E E
The worst things in life come free to us



[Chorus]

F#m F#m D D
'Cause we're just under the upper hand
A A
And go mad for a couple grams
F#m F#m D D A A
And she don't want to go outside tonight
F#m F#m D D
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
A A
Or sells love to another man
F#m F#m D D A A
It's too cold outside
E E F#m F#m D D A A
For angels to fly
F#m F#m D D
For angels to fly


[Verse]

A A
Ripped gloves, raincoat
E E
Tried to swim and stay afloat
F#m F#m D D A A
Dry house, wet clothes
A A
Loose change, bank notes
E E
Weary-eyed, dry throat
F#m F#m D D A A
Call girl, no phone


[Pre-chorus]

Bm7 Bm7
And they say
D D
She's in the Class A A Team
A A
Stuck in her daydream
E E
Been this way since eighteen
Bm7 Bm7
But lately her face seems
D D
Slowly sinking, wasting
A A
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
E E
The worst things in life come free to us


[Chorus]

F#m F#m D D
'Cause we're just under the upper hand
A A
And go mad for a couple grams
F#m F#m D D A A
And she don't want to go outside tonight
F#m F#m D D
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
A A
Or sells love to another man
F#m F#m D D A A
It's too cold outside
E E F#m F#m D D A A
For angels to fly
F#m F#m D D
For angels to fly


[Bridge]

Bm7 Bm7 Dmaj9 Dmaj9
An angel will die
F#m7 F#m7
Covered in white
Closed eye
A A
And hoping for a better life
Bm7 Bm7 Dmaj9 Dmaj9
This time, we'll fade out tonight
Straight down the line


F#m7 F#m7 Dmaj9 Dmaj9 Amaj7 Amaj7 F#m7 F#m7 Dmaj9 Dmaj9 Amaj7 Amaj7


[Pre-chorus]

Bm7 Bm7
And they say
D D
She's in the Class A A Team
A A
Stuck in her daydream
E E
Been this way since eighteen
Bm7 Bm7
But lately her face seems
D D
Slowly sinking, wasting
A A
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
E E
The worst things in life come free to us


[Chorus]

F#m F#m D D
'Cause we're just under the upper hand
A A
And go mad for a couple grams
F#m F#m D D A A
And she don't want to go outside tonight
F#m F#m D D
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
A A
Or sells love to another man
F#m F#m D D A A
It's too cold outside
E E F#m F#m D D A A
For angels to fly
F#m F#m D D
For angels to fly


Amaj7 Amaj7 F#m7 F#m7 Dmaj9 Dmaj9 Amaj7 Amaj7
To fly, fly
F#m7 F#m7 Dmaj9 Dmaj9 Amaj7 Amaj7
For angels to fly, to fly, to fly
E E A A
Angels to die

The "E"s in the verses could be replaced by an A/G# chord, that is an A chord with a G# in the bass [speaking more as a guitarist than a uke player...]

Some of the chords are misaligned, but that could be partly due to the way ukulele-tabs.com processes what we enter...
