DmDm Am7Am7 C majorC G+G
🎸 Verse 1:
Fadd9Fadd9 Am7Am7
When an angel fell somewhere in Lothian
C majorC G+G DmDm
I was only a child but I trust my eyes
Am7Am7 C majorC
She burnt up like a comet before me
G+G
Before I could even say "Hi"
Fadd9Fadd9 Am7Am7
Saw kingdoms come and go in Bernicia
C majorC G+G DmDm
With a space station rattling above my head
Am7Am7
And I saw the dead
C majorC G+G
I saw the dead
🎸 Verse 2:
Fadd9Fadd9 Am7Am7
Back then, yeah, the door was always open
C majorC G+G DmDm
I'd come and go, back and forth, anytime I need
Am7Am7 C majorC
But I'm needing it more now than ever
G+G
'Cause I'm fading away
Fadd9Fadd9 Am7Am7
And I claw at the door every bad night
C majorC G+G DmDm
But somehow it's blocked from thе other side
Am7Am7 C majorC
I claw 'til my skin comes apart
G+G
Until I feel something

🎸 Verse 3:
Fadd9Fadd9 Am7Am7
And I remember that pain in my mother
C majorC G+G DmDm
Being helpless and feckless and far too young
Am7Am7
My brother was spiraling down
C majorC G+G
He said “Kid it's not me, it's this town”
Fadd9Fadd9 Am7Am7
So I rail against that feeling when it comes
C majorC G+G DmDm
I no longer have solitude behind that door
Am7Am7 C majorC
And I know drugs that can hold it
G+G
You gotta hold it yourself
🎸 Verse 4:
Fadd9Fadd9 Am7Am7
I wish an angel fell somewhere in Lothian
C majorC G+G DmDm
She could've fixed all the problems that I cannot fix
Am7Am7
But one day I might have kids myself
C majorC G+G
And hope that I don't fuck them up myself
Hey!
