Angel Of Small Death And The Codeine Scene - Hozier-2
Intro
DmA7Dm
1.
DmA7Dm
I watch the work of my kin, bold and boyful
DmA7Dm
Toying somewhere between love and abuse
CF
Calling to join them, the wretched and joyful
DmA7Dm
Shaking the wings of their terrible youths
2.
DmA7Dm
Freshly disowned in some frozen devotion
DmA7Dm
No more alone or myself could I be.
CF
Lurched like a stray to the arms that were open,
DmA7Dm
No shortage of sordid, no protest from me.
Ref1
DmF
With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean
CDm
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene.
DmF
With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean,
CDm
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene.
3.
DmA7Dm
Feeling more human and hooked on her flesh,
DmA7Dm
I lay my heart down with the rest at her feet.
CF
Fresh from the fields, all fetor and fertile,
DmA7Dm
Bloody and raw, but I swear it is sweet.
Ref2
DmF
With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean
CDm
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene.
DmF
With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean,
CDm
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene.

4.
DmA7Dm
In leash-less confusion, I'll wander the concrete,
DmA7Dm
Wonder if better now having survived.
CF
Jarring of judgement and reasons defeat,
DmA7Dm
The sweet heat of her breath in my mouth, I'm alive.
Ref3
DmF
With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean
CDm
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene.
DmF
With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean,
CDm
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene.
