This is my version of The A Team by Boyce Avenue. [Verse 1]
G
White lips, pale face,

               Am   Em
Breathing in snowflakes,

              Am   Em           
Burnt lungs, sour taste.

G
Light's gone, day's end,

              Am   Em
Struggling to pay rent,

              Am      G
Long nights, strange men.
[Pre-Chorus]
Am7                             C
And they say she's in the Class A Team,

                G
Stuck in her daydream,

                    D                  Am7
Been this way since 18, but lately her face seems

                  C
Slowly sinking, wasting,

                G
Crumbling like pastries,
[Chorus] And they scream,
D
The worst things in life come free to us,

Em                       C       
Cos we're just under the upperhand,

G
And go mad for a couple of grams,

Em                    C          G
And she don't want to go outside tonight,

       Em                       C
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland,

    G
Or sells love to another man,

Em         C
It's too cold outside,

G              Em
For angels to fly,

D          Em 
Angels to fly,
[Verse 2]
G
Ripped gloves, raincoat,

                  Am      Em
Tried to swim and stay afloat,

            Am    Em  
Dry house, wet clothes.

G
Loose change, bank notes,

            Am      Em
Weary-eyed, dry throat,

           Am     G
Call girl, no phone.
[Pre-Chorus]
Am7                             C
And they say she's in the Class A Team,

                G
Stuck in her daydream,

                    D                  Am7
Been this way since 18, but lately her face seems

                  C
Slowly sinking, wasting,

                G
Crumbling like pastries,
[Chorus] And they scream,
D
The worst things in life come free to us,

Em                       C       
Cos we're just under the upperhand,

G
And go mad for a couple of grams,

Em                    C          G
And she don't want to go outside tonight,

       Em                       C
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland,

    G
Or sells love to another man,

Em         C
It's too cold outside,

G              Em
For angels to fly,

Am7           C
An angel will die.
[Verse 3]
G            Am
Covered in white,

Em
Closed eye,

     C            G 
And hoping for a better life,

Am                         C
This time, we'll fade out tonight,

G                   Em
Straight down the line.
[Instrumental] Am C G Em [Pre-Chorus]
Am7                             C
And they say she's in the Class A Team,

                G
Stuck in her daydream,

                    D                  Am7
Been this way since 18, but lately her face seems

                  C
Slowly sinking, wasting,

                G
Crumbling like pastries,
[Chorus] And they scream,
D
The worst things in life come free to us,

Em                       C       
Cos we're just under the upperhand,

G
And go mad for a couple of grams,

Em                    C          G
And she don't want to go outside tonight,

       Em                       C
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland,

    G
Or sells love to another man,

Em         C
It's too cold outside,
G Em For angels to fly, C Em D Em Angels to fly, C Em
C       Em        
To fly, fly,

G        Em        C      Em
Angels to fly, to fly, to fly,

Em         G 
Angels to die.
