Intro
[Em] [B7] [Em] x2
Verse 1
[Em] [B7] [Em]
I watch the work of my kin, bold and boyful
[Em] [B7] [Em]
Toying somewhere between love and abuse
[D] [G]
Calling to join them, the wretched and joyful
[Em] [B7] [Em]
Shaking the wings of their terrible youths
Verse 2
[Em] [B7] [Em]
Freshly disowned in some frozen devotion
[Em] [B7] [Em]
No more alone or myself could I be.
[D] [G]
Lurched like a stray to the arms that were open,
[Em] [B7] [Em]
No shortage of sordid, no protest from me.
Chorus
[Em] [G]
With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean
[D] [Em]
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene.
[Em] [G]
With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean,
[D] [Em]
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene.
Verse 3
[Em] [B7] [Em]
Feeling more human and hooked on her flesh,
[Em] [B7] [Em]
I lay my heart down with the rest at her feet.
[D] [G]
Fresh from the fields, all fetor and fertile,
[Em] [B7] [Em]
Bloody and raw, but I swear it is sweet.
Chorus
[Em] [G]
With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean
[D] [Em]
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene.
[Em] [G]
With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean,
[D] [Em]
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene.

Verse 4
[Em] [B7] [Em]
In leash-less confusion, I'll wander the concrete,
[Em] [B7] [Em]
Wonder if better now having survived.
[D] [G]
Jarring of judgement and reasons defeat,
[Em] [B7] [Em]
The sweet heat of her breath in my mouth, I'm alive.
Chorus
[Em] [G]
With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean
[D] [Em]
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene.
[Em] [G]
With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean,
[D] [Em]
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene.
[Em] [G]
With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean
[D] [Em]
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene.
[Em] [G]
With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard and lean,
[D] [Em] [Em]
She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene.
