Ed Sheeran - The A Team

[intro]
A  A  E/G#  F#m  D  A

[verse 1]
A
White lips, pale face
               E/G# F#m
Breathing in snowflakes
              D    A
Burnt lungs, sour taste
A
Light's gone, day's end
              E/G# F#m
Struggling to pay rent
                D    A
Long nights, strange men

[pre-chorus]
      Bm
And they say
                   D
She's in the class a team
               A
Stuck in her daydream
                    E/G#
Been this way since 18
                Bm
But lately her face seems
                 D
Slowly sinking, wasting
                A
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
     E/G#
The worst things in life come free to us

[chorus]
            F#m            D
Cos we're just under the upperhand
A
And go mad for a couple grams
F#m                    D      A
And she don't want to go outside tonight
          F#m                    D
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
A
Or sells love to another man
F#m        D       A
It's too cold outside
     E         F#m  D  A
For angels to fly
           F#m  D  A
Angels to fly

[verse 2]
A
Ripped gloves, raincoat
                    E/G#  F#m
Tried to swim and stay afloat
            D   A
Dry house, wet clothes
A
Loose change, bank notes
             E/G# F#m
Weary-eyed, dry throat
           D    A
Call girl, no phone

[pre-chorus]
      Bm
And they say
                   D
She's in the class a team
              A
Stuck in her daydream
                    E/G#
Been this way since 18
               Bm
But lately her face seems
                 D
Slowly sinking, wasting
                A
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
     E/G#
The worst things in life come free to us

[chorus]
           F#m                  D
Cos we're just under the upperhand
A
And go mad for a couple grams
F#m                    D      A
And she don't want to go outside tonight
         F#m                     D
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
A
Or sells love to another man
F#m        D       A
It's too cold outside
     E        Bm
For angels to fly

[bridge]
               D
An angel will die
             F#m
Covered in white
Closed eye
         A
And hoping for a better life
   Bm                      D
This time, we'll fade out tonight
                  F#m D A F#m  D  A
Straight down the line

[pre-chorus]
      Bm
And they say
                   D
She's in the class a team
              A
Stuck in her daydream
                    E/G#
Been this way since 18
               Bm
But lately her face seems
                 D
Slowly sinking, wasting
                A
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
     E/G#
The worst things in life come free to us

[chorus/outro]
          F#m             D
Cos we're all under the upperhand
A
And go mad for a couple grams
F#m                   D     A
And we don't want to go outside tonight
          F#m                 D
And in a pipe we fly to the Motherland
A
Or sell love to another man
F#m        D       A
It's too cold outside
      E        F#m D A
For angels to fly
            F#m D A
Angels to fly
   F#m D  A
To fly, fly
              F#m      D       A
For angels to fly, to fly, to fly
   E/G#    A
Angels to die
