Angel Of Smal Death In The Codiene Scene chords by Hozier

Em                         B7       Em
I watch the work of my kin bold and boyful
Em                        B7        Em
Toying somewhere between love and abuse
D                        G
Calling to join them the wretched and joyful
Em                          B7        Em
Shaking the wings of their terrible youths

Em                         B7       Em
Freshly dissolved in some frozen devotion
Em                  B7          Em
No more alone or myself could I be.
D                           G
Looks like a strain to the arms it were open,
Em                            B7       Em
No shortage of sordid, no protest from me.

[Chorus]

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

Em                     B7             Em
Feeling more human and hooked on her flesh I,
Em                         B7          Em
Lay my heart down with the rest at her feet.
D                           G
Fresh from the fields, all feeder and fur tires,
Em                    B7           Em
Bloody and raw, but I swear it is sweet.

Bridge:
Em ? Bm ? G ? Am ? C ? D ? G ? G
Am ? Em ? Bm ? C ? C ? G

[Chorus]

    Em                          B7         Em
And lease this confusion, I'll wander the concrete,
Em                   B7        Em
Wonder if better now having survived.
D                         G
Jarring of judgement and reasons defeat,
     Em                             B7         Em
The sweet heat of her breath in my mouth I'm alive.

[Chorus]
