Tom: A
[Intro] F#m C#9
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
F#m C#9 F#m
Freshly dissolved in some frozen devotion
F#m C#9 F#m
No more alone or myself could I be
E A
Looks like a strain to the arms that were open
F#m C#9 F#m
No shortage of sordid, no protest from me
F#m
With her sweetened breath
A
And her tongue so mean
E F#m
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene
F#m
With her straw-blonde hair
A
Her arms hard and lean
E F#m
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene
F#m C#9 F#m
Feeling more human and hooked on her flesh
F#m C#9 F#m
I 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
Bloody and raw, but I swear it is sweet
F#m
With her sweetened breath
A
And her tongue so mean
E F#m
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene
F#m
With her straw-blonde hair
A
Her arms hard and lean
E F#m
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene
F#m C#m A Bm D E A A
Bm F#m C#m D D A F#m C#9
F#m C#9 F#m
And lease this 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
F#m C#9
Defeat the sweet heat of her breath in my mouth
F#m
I'm alive
F#m
With her sweetened breath
A
And her tongue so mean
E F#m
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene
F#m
With her straw-blonde hair
A
Her arms hard and lean
E F#m
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene
