  F#m7                                    
I watch the work of my kin bold and boyful
                         F#m           
Toying somewhere between love and abuse
E                        A                  
Calling to join them the wretched and joyful
F#m                        B        F#m7   F#m
Shaking the wings of their terrible youths ■  
F#m                                     
Freshly disowned in some frozen devotion
F#m                               
No more alone or myself could I be
E                           A                  
Lurched like a stray to the arms that were open
   F#m                                  
No shortage of sordid no protest from me
                                  A             
With her sweetened breath and her tongue so mean
      A                                             
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene
         A                                      
With her strawblonde hair her arms hard and lean
                                       E            
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene
F#m                    C#7           F#m7 
Feeling more human and hooked on her flesh
               F#m           C#7     F#m     
I lay my heart down with the rest at her feet
E                         A                
Fresh from the fields all fetor and fertile
     F#m                  C#7      F#m     
It's bloody and raw but I swear it is sweet
                                  A             
With her sweetened breath and her tongue so mean


[Chorus]
          E                            F#m          
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene
                                  A            
With her strawblond hair her arms hard and lean
      E                                             
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene

[Chorus]
F#m7                        C#         F#m     
In leashless confusion I'll wander the concrete
                     C#7    F#m     
Wonder if better now having survived
E                   A           Asus4 
Jarring of judgment and reasons defeat
          D                        C#7   F#m      
The sweet heat of her breath in my mouth I'm alive
F#m7     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
                              A                 
With her strawblonde hair her arms hard and lean
E                                  F#m              
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene
                              A                 
With her sweetened breath and her tongue so mean
E                                  F#m              
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene
                          A                     
With her strawblonde hair her arms hard and lean
E                                  F#m              
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene
