***PLEASE CREDIT ME IF YOU USE THIS!!!*** TABBED BY: "afong10" By Hozier [Intro] F#m F#m C#9 F#m x2 [Verse 1]
F#m                    C#9          F#m
I watch the work of my kin bold and boyful

F#m                      C#9       F#m
Toying somewhere between love and abuse

E                        A
Calling to join them the wretched and joyful

F#m                        C#9      F#m
Shaking the wings of their terrible youths
[Verse 2]
F#m                      C#9      F#m
Freshly disowned in some frozen devotion

F#m                C#9          F#m
No more alone or myself could I be

E                           A
Lurched like a stray to the arms that were open

   F#m                    C#9          F#m
No shortage of sordid, no protest from me
[Chorus]
        F#m                       A
With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean

         E                            F#m
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene

        F#m                    A
With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean

         E                            F#m
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene
[Verse 3]
F#m                    C#9           F#m
Feeling more human and hooked on her flesh, I

F#m                        C#9         F#m
Lay my heart down with the rest at her feet

E                          A
Fresh from the fields, all fetor and fertile

F#m                        C#9         F#m
It's bloody and raw, but I swear it is sweet
[Chorus]
        F#m                       A
With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean

         E                            F#m
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene

        F#m                    A
With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean

         E                            F#m
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene

F#m F#m C#9 F#m F#m F#m C#9 F#m E A F#m F#m C#9 F#m [Verse 4]
F#m                       C#9        F#m
Leashless confusion, I'll wander the concrete

F#m                  C#9       F#m
Wonder if better now having survived

E                        A
Jarring of judgement and reasons defeat

          F#m                      C#9        F#m
The sweet heat of her breath in my mouth I'm alive
[Chorus] (x2)
        F#m                       A
With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean

         E                            F#m
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene

        F#m                    A
With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean

         E                            F#m
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene
