Intro:
   Fadd9   Am7   C   G
   Dm   Am7   C   G

Verse 1:
Fadd9                 Am7
When an angel fell somewhere in Lothian
C              G                   Dm
I was only a child but I trust my eyes
                     Am7         C
She burnt up like a comet before me
                     G
Before I could even say "Hi"
Fadd9                 Am7
Saw kingdoms come and go in Bernicia
C                       G               Dm
With a space station rattling above my head
               Am7
And I saw the dead
           C    G
I saw the dead

Verse 2:
Fadd9                 Am7
Back then, yeah, the door was always open
C                           G               Dm
I'd come and go, back and forth, anytime I need
                    Am7           C
But I'm needing it more now than ever
                   G
'Cause I'm fading away
Fadd9              Am7
And I claw at the door every bad night
C                   G                    Dm
But somehow it's blocked from the other side
                Am7          C
I claw 'til my skin comes apart
                G
Until I feel something

   Fadd9   Am7   C   G   Dm   Am7   C   G

Verse 3:
Fadd9                Am7
And I remember that pain in my mother
C                     G                  Dm
Being helpless and feckless and far too young
                  Am7
My brother was spiraling down
          C                          G
He said “Kid it's not me, it's this town”
Fadd9                   Am7
So I rail against that feeling when it comes
C                   G                  Dm
I no longer have solitude behind that door
              Am7          C
And I know drugs that can hold it
                   G
You gotta hold it yourself

Verse 4:
Fadd9                  Am7
I wish an angel fell somewhere in Lothian
C                              G                  Dm
She could've fixed all the problems that I cannot fix
                    Am7
But one day I might have kids myself
      C                             G
And hope that I don't xxxx them up myself

Hey!
