G
Little lady, this is just the worst way to spend your birthday

G                D/F#
It's 30 degrees, Thursday

    Em                                          C    G
You work late, you was with a perv making dirty fake love in his Mercedes

G
Lady the word 'rape' sums up events that take place every night

G
You wanna get up but you know your legs will ache if you try

        Em                                        D
And you remember that your punter went crazy last night

             G
You drag yourself to the mirror to check your face then you cry

           Am
Forget the visit to the clinic you were booked in for

              C
You'll make a trip to the Whittington where they'll look at your jaw

             G
They'll be inquisitive and ask about your business for sure

                  D
They'll know your fibbing if you tell them you got hit by a door

Am
But young woman

Am
The pimp sees you as nothing but a dumb hooker

C
Medical attention could be fatal

                                    G
'Cause the cunt wouldn't ever let a doctor near someone that's getting dough for him

                  D
'Cause next you got poxy authorities sticking their noses in
[Chorus] Sung by Ed Sheeran
             Em             Cadd9       
'cause she's just under the upper hand

G
And goes mad for a couple of grams

Em                  Cadd9  
And she don't wanna go outside tonight

         Em                    Cadd9
'cause in a pipe she flies to the motherland, and

G
Sell love to another man,

Em       Cadd9         G
It's too cold outside

    D         Em      C    G
For angels to fly

G         Em      C    G
Angels to fly
[Verse 2] Rapped by Mikill Pane
G
Little lady, your mind you've made up

G
Your injuries you can't hide with make-up

              Em                             
You need some medical advice, you make up

Em                  C
A little lie to say just

        G                                               D
In case the doc opens his eyes and don't decide to play dumb

G
With any luck you'll see the same dude who stitched your top lip

G                                  D
Last year when your pimp just lost it

G    D/F#        Em                                        C
He wouldn't recognise you if you stared him in the face anyway

               G
'Cause all the heroin is making you age

             Am
But you're a heroine for taking the strain of being a prostitute and punching bag

    C
The funds you have left go where you're from using Moneygram

G
Mother had to get you out the motherland to study

D
That was all she struggled to have a single daughter with the upper hand

Am
Little does she know you're never coming back

G/B C
She put you in her brother's hand only for him to formulate another plan

G
He's the fucking cause of your appalling state this summer

      D
Fancy that, you came to London to get pimped by your Uncle, damn.
[Chorus] Sung by Ed Sheeran
             Em             Cadd9       
'cause she's just under the upper hand

G
And goes mad for a couple of grams

Em                  Cadd9  G
And she don't wanna go outside tonight

         Em                    Cadd9
'cause in a pipe she flies to the motherland, and

G
Sell love to another man

Em       Cadd9         G
It's too cold outside

    D         Em
For angels to fly
[Chorus 2] Sung by Ed Sheeran
Am       G/B      C
Now an angel will die

              Em            
Covered in white

                     G
With closed eyes and hoping for a better life

  Am                            C
This time, we'll fade out tonight

                  G                   
Straight down the line
[Instrumental] Guitar Solo [ Em C G G ] [ Em C G G Em ] [Verse 3] Rapped by Mikill Pane
Am
Little lady, you're trembling with fear

     C
Your skinny frame kinda resembles a deer

               G                               
You're sitting facing the detective, oh dear

             D              D/C
The meddling nurse couldn't just leave it

                                 G               Am
She's only gone and made it much worse calling police in

       Am
She'll never know the gravity of the damage she's caused

                C
You're causing scandal, going mad in the ward now

                     G                              G/F#
The cop is trying to calm you, telling you he won't let no one harm you

         Am
The same question he keeps trying to ask you 'who're you working for?'

     C
He's talking to like your worth more than a dirty whore

                G
You're having a conversation you could be murdered for

                      D                                       G/F#
You're learning more about exactly why you need to help bring him or her to court

             Am
It's kicking knowledge you ain't ever heard before

                                                G/B             C
Just before he leaves, he reassures you that he knows that it's hard

        C
He underlines a mobile number you can phone on his card

            G
Begs you to use it
He's useless if you're gonna be stupid
                        D/F#                           
'Cause an answer hasn't come from your bruised lips, you're on your own

Am
You've gotta go and give your pimp what you owe

                                C
You reach your door and then it dawns that you've been followed home

           G                           
Before you turn around you feel a cold blade on your throat

                      D/F#
And then a voice says 'where you been bitch? I wanna know.'

              Am
No prizes for guessing who it is, resistance would be foolishness

             C
You open the front door, he boots you in

                              G
There's something new in him, he's silent now that fills you with terror

D/F#
Get your alibi straight, you could be killed for an error

          Am
He towers over you, the 6 inch knife catches the sunlight

                   C
At this point your life flashes before your eyes

                      G
Your handbags dropped and all the contents are all over the floor

                              D/F#
Despite the mess there's only one thing that's caught his eye

           Am
And in the moment of rage, he brutally murders his niece

              C
And dumps her body in the boot of his Merc, t's in the street.

       G
Little lady left this earth in the worst way

      D/F#
All because she got a card on her 13th birthday
[Chorus] Sung by Ed Sheeran
Em                      Cadd9       
'cause we're all under the upper hand

G
And go mad for a couple of grams

Em                    Cadd9                G
And she don't want to go outside tonight

       Em                       Cadd9
'cause in a pipe she'll fly to the motherland

  G
Or sells love to another man

Em         Cadd9               G
It's too cold outside

G              Em              C    G
For angels to fly

G              Em      
Angels to fly

C         Em
To fly, fly

G        Em       D        Em
Angels to fly, to fly, to fly

G          G
Angels to die
