Misc Musicals – The Art Of Pleasing Princes - All Angels Have To Fall (Guitar)

Em
   Poor boy, too hopeful

A7                        C
Thought I'd be prized for all my hard work

        Am                         Em
Thought they'd see me better, with each perfumed letter

B7
A spark of potential in the murk

Em
Poor boy, so foolish

     A7                    C
Just learn to sneak around when you’re small

Am                                  Em
Thought I’d save this place with my kindness and grace

    B7
But all angels have to fall

     Em
Poor boy, your time’s up

            A                    C
‘cause our king wants to see you go

     Am                                 Em
Down blankets — the nerve! These aren’t blankets you deserve!

              B7                        F#m  B7
They’ll flood red with your blood in one blow

     Em        D
Poor boy, I’m sorry

   A7                   C
I promise this isn’t my call

 Am                   Em
A halo of hair on the bеd frames your head

    B7         F#m     B7
But all angels havе to fall

Am               Em
Steady your arms, steady the blade

Bm                   Em
What are you waiting for?

Am                     Am
Focus your thoughts on how to evade

    Bm                B7
The guard outside the door

C
Not his eyelashes, fine as spiderwebs

A                  Am
Or the part of his silver-tinged lips

C                           Em
His cheekbones, gleaming as moonlight ebbs

       D
On the sheets tucked under his hips

C
Is the place you’re aiming at a place you’ve kissed?

    Am              Em
No, drive away that errant thought

                            G            Bm
Just plunge it down! Just a flick of the wrist!

    A7            B7
You idiot! Do you want to get caught?

Am                      Em
What is wrong with you? Plunge it down!

Am                      Em
What is wrong with you? Plunge it down!

C
What is wrong with you? What is wrong with you?

Cm                      N.C.
What is wrong with you? What is wrong with you?

Em            Em7
Poor boy, I’m sorry

  C
I think I’m going to faint

        Am               Em
I guess I’m a devil just like the rest

      B7
Not a savior nor a saint

     Em      Em7
Poor boy, tormented

C                  Cm
Drag yourself back down the hall

Am             Em
Not as angelic as I expected

B7                 Em Em7 Am G C
All angels have to fall
