G+G
Listen
G+G
Little lady, this is just the worst way to spend your birthday
G+G        D/F#D/F#
It's 30 degrees, Thursday
  E minorEm                     C majorC  G+G
You work late, you was with a perv making dirty fake love in his Mercedes
G+G
Lady the word 'rape' sums up events that take place every night
G+G
You wanna get up but you know your legs will ache if you try
    E minorEm                    D MajorD
And you remember that your punter went crazy last night
       G+G
You drag yourself to the mirror to check your face then you cry
      A minorAm
Forget the visit to the clinic you were booked in for
       C majorC
You'll make a trip to the Whittington where they'll look at your jaw
       G+G
They'll be inquisitive and ask about your business for sure
         D MajorD
They'll know your fibbing if you tell them you got hit by a door
A minorAm
But young woman
A minorAm
The pimp sees you as nothing but a dumb hooker
C majorC
Medical attention could be fatal
                  G+G
'Cause the cunt wouldn't ever let a doctor near someone that's getting dough for him
         D MajorD
'Cause next you got poxy authorities sticking their noses in


Chorus: (Sung by Ed Sheeran)
       E minorEm       Cadd9Cadd9
'cause she's just under the upper hand
G+G
And goes mad for a couple of grams
E minorEm         Cadd9Cadd9
And she don't wanna go outside tonight
     E minorEm          Cadd9Cadd9
'cause in a pipe she flies to the motherland, and
G+G
Sell love to another man,
E minorEm    Cadd9Cadd9     G+G
It's too cold outside
  D MajorD     E minorEm   C majorC  G+G
For angels to fly
G+G     E minorEm   C majorC  G+G
Angels to fly

Verse 2: (Rapped by Mikill Pane)
G+G
Little lady, your mind you've made up
G+G
Your injuries you can't hide with make-up
       E minorEm
You need some medical advice, you make up
E minorEm         C majorC
A augmentedA little lie to say just
    G+G                        D MajorD
In case the doc opens his eyes and don't decide to play dumb
G+G
With any luck you'll see the same dude who stitched your top lip
G+G                 D MajorD
Last year when your pimp just lost it
G+G  D/F#D/F#    E minorEm                    C majorC
He wouldn't recognise you if you stared him in the face anyway
        G+G
'Cause all the heroin is making you age
       A minorAm
But you're a heroine for taking the strain of being a prostitute and punching bag
  C majorC
The funds you have left go where you're from using Moneygram
G+G
Mother had to get you out the motherland to study
D MajorD
That was all she struggled to have a single daughter with the upper hand
A minorAm
Little does she know you're never coming back
G/BG/B C majorC
She put you in her brother's hand only for him to formulate another plan
G+G
He's the fucking cause of your appalling state this summer
   D MajorD
Fancy that, you came to London to get pimped by your Uncle, damn.


Chorus: (Sung by Ed Sheeran)
       E minorEm       Cadd9Cadd9
'cause she's just under the upper hand
G+G
And goes mad for a couple of grams
E minorEm         Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
And she don't wanna go outside tonight
     E minorEm          Cadd9Cadd9
'cause in a pipe she flies to the motherland, and
G+G
Sell love to another man
E minorEm    Cadd9Cadd9     G+G
It's too cold outside
  D MajorD     E minorEm
For angels to fly

Chorus 2: (Sung by Ed Sheeran)
A minorAm    G/BG/B   C majorC
Now an angel will die
       E minorEm
Covered in white
           G+G
With closed eyes and hoping for a better life
 A minorAm              C majorC
This time, we'll fade out tonight
         G+G
Straight down the line

Verse 3: (Rapped by Mikill Pane)
A minorAm
Little lady, you're trembling with fear
   C majorC
Your skinny frame kinda resembles a deer
        G+G
You're sitting facing the detective, oh dear
       D MajorD       D/C
The meddling nurse couldn't just leave it
                 G+G        A minorAm
She's only gone and made it much worse calling police in
    A minorAm
She'll never know the gravity of the damage she's caused
        C majorC
You're causing scandal, going mad in the ward now
           G+G               G/F#
The cop is trying to calm you, telling you he won't let no one harm you
     A minorAm
The same question he keeps trying to ask you 'who're you working for?'
   C majorC
He's talking to like your worth more than a dirty whore
        G+G
You're having a conversation you could be murdered for
           D MajorD                    G/F#
You're learning more about exactly why you need to help bring him or her to court
       A minorAm
It's kicking knowledge you ain't ever heard before
                        G/BG/B       C majorC
Just before he leaves, he reassures you that he knows that it's hard
    C majorC
He underlines a mobile number you can phone on his card
      G+G
Begs you to use it

He's useless if you're gonna be stupid
            D/F#D/F#
'Cause an answer hasn't come from your bruised lips, you're on your own
A minorAm
You've gotta go and give your pimp what you owe
                C majorC
You reach your door and then it dawns that you've been followed home
      G+G
Before you turn around you feel a cold blade on your throat
           D/F#D/F#
And then a voice says 'where you been bitch? I wanna know.'
       A minorAm
No prizes for guessing who it is, resistance would be foolishness
       C majorC
You open the front door, he boots you in
               G+G
There's something new in him, he's silent now that fills you with terror
D/F#D/F#
Get your alibi straight, you could be killed for an error
     A minorAm
He towers over you, the 6 inch knife catches the sunlight
          C majorC
At this point your life flashes before your eyes
           G+G
Your handbags dropped and all the contents are all over the floor
               D/F#D/F#
Despite the mess there's only one thing that's caught his eye
      A minorAm
And in the moment of rage, he brutally murders his niece
       C majorC
And dumps her body in the boot of his Merc, t's in the street.
    G+G
Little lady left this earth in the worst way
   D/F#D/F#
All because she got a card on her 13th birthday


Chorus: (Sung by Ed Sheeran)
E minorEm           Cadd9Cadd9
'cause we're all under the upper hand
G+G
And go mad for a couple of grams
E minorEm          Cadd9Cadd9        G+G
And she don't want to go outside tonight
    E minorEm            Cadd9Cadd9
'cause in a pipe she'll fly to the motherland
 G+G
Or sells love to another man
E minorEm     Cadd9Cadd9        G+G
It's too cold outside
G+G       E minorEm       C majorC  G+G
For angels to fly
G+G       E minorEm
Angels to fly
C majorC     E minorEm
To fly, fly
G+G    E minorEm    D MajorD    E minorEm
Angels to fly, to fly, to fly
G+G     G+G
