[Em] [Em] [B9] [Em] [x2]
[Verse1]
[Em]I watch the work of my[B9]my kin bold an[Em]and boyful
[Em]Toying somewhere between[B9]between love and[Em]and abuse
[D]Calling to join them the [G]wretched and joyful
[Em]Shaking the wings of their[B9]their terribl[Em]terrible youths
[Verse2]
[Em]Freshly disowned in some[B9]some frozen [Em]devotion
[Em]No more alone or m[B9]myself could [Em]I be
[D]Lurched like a stray to the [G]arms that were open
No [Em]shortage of sordid, no[B9]no protest fro[Em]from me
[Chorus]
With her[Em]her sweetened breath, and he[G]her tongue so mean
She's the[D]the angel of small death and the[Em]the codeine scene
With her[Em]her straw-blonde hair, he[G]her arms hard and lean
She's the[D]the angel of small death and the[Em]the codeine scene
[Verse3]
[Em]Feeling more human and[B9]and hooked on he[Em]her flesh, I
[Em]Lay my heart down with the[B9]the rest at he[Em]her feet
[D]Fresh from the fields, all [G]fetor and fertile
[Em]It's bloody and raw, but I[B9]I swear it i[Em]is sweet
[Chorus]
With her[Em]her sweetened breath, and he[G]her tongue so mean
She's the[D]the angel of small death and the[Em]the codeine scene
With her[Em]her straw-blonde hair, he[G]her arms hard and lean
She's the[D]the angel of small death and the[Em]the codeine scene

[Verse4]
[Em]Leashless confusion, I'll[B9]I'll wander th[Em]the concrete
[Em]Wonder if better now[B9]now having s[Em]survived
[D]Jarring of judgement and [G]reasons defeat
The sweet [Em]heat of her breath in my[B9]my mouth I'm[Em]I'm alive
[Chorus] (x2)
With her[Em]her sweetened breath, and he[G]her tongue so mean
She's the[D]the angel of small death and the[Em]the codeine scene

She's the[D]the angel of small death and the[Em]the codeine scene
