1. The A Team
Verse 1
[F]
White lips, pale face
[C] [Dm]
Breathing in snowflakes
[Bb] [F]
Burnt lungs, sour taste
[F]
Light's gone, day's end
[C] [Dm]
Struggling to pay rent
[Bb] [F]
Long nights, strange men
Pre-Chorus
[Gm]
And they say
[Bb]
She's in the Class A Team
[F]
Stuck in her daydream
[C]
Been this way since 18
[Gm]
But lately her face seems
[Bb]
Slowly sinking, wasting
[F]
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
[C]
The worst things in life come free to us
Chorus
[Dm] [Bb]
Cos we're just under the upperhand
[F]
And go mad for a couple of grams
[Dm] [Bb] [F]
And she don't want to go outside tonight
[Dm] [Bb]
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
[F] [C]
Or sells love to another man
[Dm] [Bb] [F]
It's too cold outside
[Dm] [Bb] [F]
For angels to fly
[Dm] [Bb] [F]
Angels to fly
Verse 2
[F]
Ripped gloves, raincoat
[C] [Dm]
Tried to swim and stay afloat
[Bb] [F]
Dry house, wet clothes
[F]
Loose change, bank notes
[C] [Dm]
Weary-eyed, dry throat
[Bb] [F]
Call girl, no phone
Pre-Chorus
[Gm]
And they say
[Bb]
She's in the Class A Team
[F]
Stuck in her daydream
[C]
Been this way since 18
[Gm]
But lately her face seems
[Bb]
Slowly sinking, wasting
[F]
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
[C]
The worst things in life come free to us
Chorus
[Dm] [Bb]
Cos we're just under the upperhand
[F]
And go mad for a couple of grams
[Dm] [Bb] [F]
And she don't want to go outside tonight
[Dm] [Bb]
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
[F] [C]
Or sells love to another man
[Dm] [Bb] [F]
It's too cold outside
[Dm] [Bb] [F]
For angels to fly
[Dm] [Bb] [F]
Angels to fly
Bridge
[Gm] [Bb]
An angel will die
[Dm]
Covered in white
Closed eye
[F]
And hoping for a better life
[Gm] [Bb]
This time, we'll fade out tonight
[Dm] [Bb] [F]
Straight down the line
Pre-Chorus
[Gm]
And they say
[Bb]
She's in the Class A Team
[F]
Stuck in her daydream
[C]
Been this way since 18
[Gm]
But lately her face seems
[Bb]
Slowly sinking, wasting
[F]
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
[C]
The worst things in life come free to us
Chorus
[Dm] [Bb]
Cos we're all under the upperhand
[F]
And go mad for a couple of grams
[Dm] [Bb] [F]
And we don't want to go outside tonight
[Dm] [Bb]
And in a pipe we fly to the Motherland
[F] [C]
Or sell love to another man
[Dm] [Bb] [F]
It's too cold outside
[Dm] [Bb] [F]
For angels to fly
[Dm] [Bb] [F]
Angels to fly
[Dm] [Bb] [F]
To fly, fly
[Dm] [Bb] [F]
Angels to fly, to fly, to fly
[C] [F]
Angels to die

[D] [G]
Though I know you'll never love me like you used to.
[G]
There maybe other people like us

Flames just create us, burns don't heal like before

You don't hold me anymore.

On cold days Coldplay's out like the band's the name

I found your headband on my bedroom floor
[Bm]
Only evidence that you'd been here before

[D]
Never getting dry, so I get high
Smoke with the days, never sleep with the light on
[Bm] [G]
Weeks pass in a blink of an eye and I'm still drunk by the end of the night
[G]
I don't drink like everybody else
[G]
Do it to forget thing about myself

break up the love like lego land

[D]
Everything's great, but everything short
Like you live in your halls and I live in my tour bus
[D]
Now I'm in the position to be another stalker
That everything I say always seems to sound awkward
[Bm] [G]
Like our last kiss it was perfect
We were nervous, on the surface
[D]
And I'm always saying everyday that it was worth it
[D]
Pain is only relevant if it still hurts
I forget like an elephant or we can use a sedative
[D]
And go back to that day we fell in love
Just on our first kiss
Bridge

So am I close to you anymore if it's over

I keep my feet on the ground, and keep looking around to make sure I'm not the only one to feel low

[D]
From all that I've done wrong
[Bm] [G] [Bm] [G]

[E]

North, South, East, West,

10. You Need Me, I Don’t Need You
Verse 1
[Em]
But now I'm in town, break it down
Thinking of making a new sound
[G]
Playing a different show every night
In front of a new crowd
[A]
That's you now, hello, ciao
Seems that life is great now
[C] [D]
See me lose focus, as I sing to you loud
[Em] [G]
I can't, no, I won't hush
[A]
I'll say the words that make you blush
[C] [D]
I'm gonna sing this now
[Em]
See, I'm true, my songs are where my heart is
[G]
I'm like glue, I stick to other artists

I'm not you, now that would be disastrous

Let me sing and do my thing

And move to greener pastures

See, I'm real, I do it all, it's all me

Your name's on the credits
[D]
And you didn't write nothing

I sing fast
I know that all my shit's cool
[G]
I will blast
And I didn't go to Brit School
[A]
I came fast with the way I act, right
[C] [D]
I can't last, if I'm smoking on a crack pipe
[Em]
I won't be a product of my genre
[G]
My mind will always be stronger than my songs are
[A]
Never believe the bullshit that fake guys feed to ya
[C] [D]
Always read the stories that you hear in Wikipedia
[Em]
And musically I'm demonstrating
[G]
When I perform live, feels like I am meditating
[A]
Times at The Enterprise when some fella filmed me
[C] [D]
A young singer-writer like Gabriella Cilmi
Chorus
[Em] [G]
You need me, man, I don't need you
[A]
You need me, man, I don't need you
