Intro: F#mF#mC#9F#m x2
Verse:
F#mC#9F#m
I watch the work of my kin bold and boyful
F#mC#9F#m
Toying somewhere between love and abuse
E7A
Calling to join them the wretched and joyful
F#mC#9F#m
Shaking the wings of their terrible youths
Verse:
F#mC#9F#m
Freshly dissolved in some frozen devotion
F#mC#9F#m
No more alone or myself could I be
E7A
Looks like a strain to the arms it were open
F#mC#9F#m
No shortage of sordid, no protest from me
Chorus:
F#mA
With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean
E7F#m
Sheʼs the angel of small death and the codeine scene
F#mA
With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean
E7F#m
Sheʼs the angel of small death and the codeine scene
Verse:
F#mC#9F#m
Feeling more human and hooked on her flesh, I
F#mC#9F#m
Lay my heart down with the rest at her feet
E7A
Fresh from the fields, all feeder and fur tires
F#mC#9F#m
Bloody and raw, but I swear it is sweet
Chorus:
F#mA
With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean
E7F#m
Sheʼs the angel of small death and the codeine scene
F#mA
With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean
E7F#m
Sheʼs the angel of small death and the codeine scene
Verse:
F#mC#9F#m
And lease this confusion, Iʼll wander the concrete
F#mC#9F#m
Wonder if better now having survived
E7A
Jarring of judgement and reasons defeat
F#mC#9F#m
The sweet heat of her breath in my mouth Iʼm alive
Chorus:
F#mA
With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean
E7F#m
Sheʼs the angel of small death and the codeine scene
F#mA
With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean
E7F#m
Sheʼs the angel of small death and the codeine scene
F#mA
With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean
E7F#m
Sheʼs the angel of small death and the codeine scene
F#mA
With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean
E7F#m
Sheʼs the angel of small death and the codeine scene
