Chords with lyrics
Tuning: G C E A (G C E A) Intro: Am Am E9 Am x2 Am E9 Am I watch the work of my kin, bold and boyful Am E9 Am Toying somewhere between love and abuse G C Calling to join them the wretched and joyful Am E9 Am Shaking the wings of their terrible youths Am E9 Am Freshly disowned in some frozen devotion Am E9 Am No more alone or myself could I be G C Lurched like a stray to the arms that were open Am E9 Am No shortage of sordid, no protest from me
Chorus: Am C With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean G Am She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene Am C With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean G Am She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene Verse 2: Am E9 Am Feeling more human and hooked on her flesh, I Am E9 Am Lay my heart down with the rest at her feet G C Fresh from the fields, all fetor and fertile Am E9 Am It's bloody and raw, but I swear it is sweet Chorus: Am C With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean G Am She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene Am C With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean G Am She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene Verse 3: Am E9 Am In leash-less confusion, I'll wander the concrete Am E9 Am Wonder if better now having survived G C The jarring of judgement and reason's defeat the sweet Am E9 Am Heat of her breath in my mouth I'm alive Chorus: Am C With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean G Am She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene Am C With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean G Am She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene
