[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 thе other side
Am7 C
I claw 'til my skin comes apart
G
Until I feel something
[Harmonica Interlude]
Fadd9 Am7 C G Dm Am7 C G
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 fuck them up myself
Hey!

Well an angel fell somewhere in Lothian
I was only a child but I trust my eyes
She burned up like a comet before me
Before I could even say "Hi"
Saw kingdoms come and go in Bernicia
With a space station rattling above my head
And I saw the dead, I saw the dead
Back then yeah the door was always open
I'd come and go back and forth anytime I need
But I'm needing it more now than ever as I'm fading away
And I'd claw at the door every bad night
But somehow it's blocked from the other side
Claw 'til my skin comes apart until I feel something
And I remember that pain in my mother
Being helpless and feckless and far too young
And my brother was spiralling down
He said, "Kid, it's not me, it's this town."
So I rail against that feeling when it comes
I no longer have solitude behind that door
And there's no drugs that can hold it
You gotta hold it yourself
I wish an angel fell somewhere in Lothian
She could've fixed all the problems I cannot fix
Then one day I might have kids myself
And hope that I don't fuck them up myself
Back then yeah the door was always open
