[Intro]
F#m F#m C#9 F#m x2
[Strophe]
F#m                    C#9          F#m 
I watch the work of my kin bold and boyful 
F#m                      C#9       F#m 
Toying somewhere between love and abuse 
E                        A 
Calling to join them the wretched and joyful 
F#m                        C#9      F#m 
Shaking the wings of their terrible youths
[Strophe]
F#m                      C#9      F#m 
Freshly disowned in some frozen devotion 
F#m                C#9          F#m 
No more alone or myself could I be 
E                           A 
Lurched like a stray to the arms that were open 
   F#m                    C#9          F#m 
No shortage of sordid, no protest from me
[Refrain]
        F#m                       A 
With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean 
         E                            F#m 
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene 
        F#m                    A 
With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean 
         E                            F#m 
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene
[Strophe]
F#m                    C#9           F#m 
Feeling more human and hooked on her flesh, I 
F#m                        C#9         F#m 
Lay my heart down with the rest at her feet 
E                          A 
Fresh from the fields, all fetor and fertile 
F#m                        C#9         F#m 
It's bloody and raw, but I swear it is sweet
[Refrain]
        F#m                       A 
With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean 
         E                            F#m 
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene 
        F#m                    A 
With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean 
         E                            F#m 
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene

[Strophe]
F#m                       C#9        F#m 
Leashless confusion, I'll wander the concrete 
F#m                  C#9       F#m 
Wonder if better now having survived 
E                        A 
Jarring of judgement and reasons defeat 
          F#m                      C#9        F#m 
The sweet heat of her breath in my mouth I'm alive
[Refrain]
        F#m                       A 
With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean 
         E                            F#m 
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene 
        F#m                    A 
With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean 
         E                            F#m 
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene 
        F#m                       A 
With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean 
         E                            F#m 
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene 
        F#m                    A 
With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean 
         E                            F#m 
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene
