Angel Of Smal Death In The Codiene Scene chords by Hozier

Chords with lyrics

E minorEm             B7B7    E minorEm
I watch the work of my kin bold and boyful
E minorEm            B7B7    E minorEm
Toying somewhere between love and abuse
D MajorD            G+G
Calling to join them the wretched and joyful
E minorEm             B7B7    E minorEm
Shaking the wings of their terrible youths

E minorEm             B7B7    E minorEm
Freshly dissolved in some frozen devotion
E minorEm         B7B7     E minorEm
No more alone or myself could I be.
D MajorD              G+G
Looks like a strain to the arms it were open,
E minorEm              B7B7    E minorEm
No shortage of sordid, no protest from me.

[Chorus]

     E minorEm             G+G
With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean
     D MajorD              E minorEm
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene.
     E minorEm          G+G
With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean,
     D MajorD              E minorEm
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene.

E minorEm           B7B7       E minorEm
Feeling more human and hooked on her flesh I,
E minorEm             B7B7     E minorEm
Lay my heart down with the rest at her feet.
D MajorD              G+G
Fresh from the fields, all feeder and fur tires,
E minorEm          B7B7      E minorEm
Bloody and raw, but I swear it is sweet.

Bridge:
E minorEm ? B minorBm ? G+G ? A minorAm ? C majorC ? D MajorD ? G+G ? G+G
A minorAm ? E minorEm ? B minorBm ? C majorC ? C majorC ? G+G

[Chorus]

  E minorEm             B7B7     E minorEm
And lease this confusion, I'll wander the concrete,
E minorEm          B7B7    E minorEm
Wonder if better now having survived.
D MajorD             G+G
Jarring of judgement and reasons defeat,
   E minorEm               B7B7     E minorEm
The sweet heat of her breath in my mouth I'm alive.

[Chorus]
