Angel In Lothian Chords

[Intro]
F       Am    C   G
Dm   Am    C   G
 
[Verse 1]
F                     Am
When an angel fell somewhere in Lothian
C              G                   Dm
I was only a child but I trust my eyes
                     Am          C
She burnt up like a comet before me
                     G
Before I could even say "Hi"
F                     Am
Saw kingdoms come and go in Bernicia
C                       G               Dm
With a space station rattling above my head
               Am
And I saw the dead
           C    G
I saw the dead
 
 
[Verse 2]
F                     Am
Back then, yeah, the door was always open
C                           G               Dm
I'd come and go, back and forth, anytime I need
                    Am            C
But I'm needing it more now than ever
                   G
'Cause I'm fading away
F                  Am
And I claw at the door every bad night
C                   G                    Dm
But somehow it's blocked from thе other side
                Am           C
I claw 'til my skin comes apart
                G
Until I feel something
 
 
[Harmonica Interlude]
F       Am    C   G   Dm   Am    C   G
F       Am    C   G   Dm   Am    C   G
 
[Verse 3]
F                    Am
And I remember that pain in my mother
C                     G                  Dm
Being helpless and feckless and far too young
                  Am
My brother was spiraling down
          C                          G
He said “Kid it's not me, it's this town”
F                       Am
So I rail against that feeling when it comes
C                   G                  Dm
I no longer have solitude behind that door
              Am           C
And I know drugs that can hold it
                   G
You gotta hold it yourself
 
 
[Verse 4]
F                      Am
I wish an angel fell somewhere in Lothian
C                              G                  Dm
She could've fixed all the problems that I cannot fix
                    Am
But one day I might have kids myself
      C                             G
And hope that I don't fuck them up myself
 
Hey!
