C                    Em
  When an angel fell somewhere in Lothian

G                  D               Am7
  I was only a child but I trust my eyes

                     Em
She burned up like a comet before me

G                           D
  Before I could even say, "Hi"

C                       Em
  Saw kingdoms come and go in Bernicia

G                      D                 Am7
  With a space station rattling above my head

               Em              G    D
And I saw the dead, I saw the dead
[Verse 2]
C                        Em
  Back then, yeah, the door was always open

G                           D                Am7
  I'd come and go, back and forth, anytime I need

                    Em
But I'm needing it more now than ever

G                 D
  As I'm fading away

C                   Em
  And I claw at the door every bad night

G                  D                      Am7
  But somehow it's blocked from the other side

             Em
Claw 'til my skin comes apart

G                 D
  Until I feel something
[Saxophone Solo] C Em G D Am7 Em G D x2 [Verse 3]
C                     Em*
  And I remember that pain in my mother

G*                   D*                   Am7*
  Being helpless and feckless and far too young

                   Em*
And my brother was spiraling down

          G*                          D*
He said, "Kid, it's not me, it's this town"

C                        Em
  So I rail against that feeling when it comes

G                  D                    Am7
  I no longer have solitude behind that door

                   Em
And there are no drugs that can hold it

G                       D
  You gotta hold it yourself
[Verse 4]
C                      Em
  I wish an angel fell somewhere in Lothian

G                            D                      Am7
  She could've fixed all the problems that I cannot fix

                    Em
But one day I might have kids myself

    G                              D
And hope that I don't fuck 'em up myself
[Outro] C Em G D Am7 Em G D x3 G
