"Angel of Small Death and the Codeine Scene"
By Hozier
Intro
[F#m] [F#m] [C#9] [F#m] x2
Verse 1
[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
Verse 2
[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
Chorus
[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
Verse 3
[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
Chorus
[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

Verse 4
[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
[Chorus] (x2)
[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
