.Brahms
 ( )
White  lips, pale face
 Breathing in snowflakes
 Burnt lungs,  sour taste
Light's  gone, day's end
 Struggling to pay rent
 Long nights,  strange men
 And they  say
 She's in the Class A  Team
 Stuck in her daydream
 Been this way since 18
 But lately her face  seems
 Slowly sinking, wasting
 Crumbling like pastries
 And they scream
 The worst  things in life come free to us
 Cos we're just  under the upperhand
 And go mad for a couple  of grams
 And she don't want to go  outside tonight
 And in a pipe  she flies to the Motherland
 Or sells love to another  man
 It's too cold  outside
 For angels to fly
 Angels to fly
Ripped  gloves, raincoat
 Tried to swim and stay  afloat
 Dry house,  wet clothes
Loose  change, bank notes
 Weary-eyed, dry throat
 Call girl,  no phone
 And they  say
 She's in the Class A  Team
 Stuck in her daydream
 Been this way since 18
 But lately her face  seems
 Slowly sinking, wasting
 Crumbling like pastries
 And they scream
 The worst  things in life come free to us
 Cos we're just  under the upperhand
 And go mad for a couple  of grams
 And she don't want to go  outside tonight
 And in a pipe  she flies to the Motherland
 Or sells love to another  man
 It's too cold  outside
 For angels to fly
 Angels to fly
Oooooooooooooooooh  (2x)
 And they  say
 She's in the Class A  Team
 Stuck in her daydream
 Been this way since 18
 But lately her face  seems
 Slowly sinking, wasting
 Crumbling like pastries
 And they scream
 The worst  things in life come free to us
 Cos we're just  under the upperhand
 And go mad for a couple  of grams
 And she don't want to go  outside tonight
 And in a pipe  she flies to the Motherland
 Or sells love to another  man
 It's too cold  outside
 For angels to fly
 For angels to fly
 To flyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
 For angels to die
 Enjoy!

[D]

[D]White lips, pale face
Breathing in [F#m]snowf[Bm]lakes
Burnt [G]lungs, sour t[D]aste
[D]Light's gone, day's end
Struggling to [F#m]pay [Bm]rent
Long [G]nights, strange [D]men

And [Bm]they say
She's in the Class [G]A Team
Stuck in her d[D]aydream
Been this way since [A]18
But lately her [Bm]face seems
Slowly sinking, [G]wasting
Crumbling like [D]pastries

And they scream
The [A]worst things in life come free to us
Cos we're [Bm]just under the [D]upperhand     [Em]
And go mad for a [G]couple of grams       [Bm]
And she don't want to [G]go outside [D]tonight
And in a [Bm]pipe she flies to the [D]Motherland    [Em]
Or sells love to an[G]other man      [Bm]
It's too c[G]old out[D]side
For angels to [Bm]fly
Angels to [G]fly      [D]

[D]Ripped gloves, raincoat
Tried to swim and [F#m]stay af[Bm]loat
Dry [G]house, wet [D]clothes
[D]Loose change, bank notes
Weary-eyed, [F#m]dry [Bm]throat
Call [G]girl, no [D]phone

And [Bm]they say
She's in the Class [G]A Team
Stuck in her d[D]aydream
Been this way since [A]18
But lately her [Bm]face seems
Slowly sinking, [G]wasting
Crumbling like [D]pastries
