Little Lady Chords & Lyrics - Ed Sheeran

[INTRO]

[G] - [D] - [Em] - [C] - [G]

[Verse 1: Mikill Pane]
[G]Listen, little lady
This is just the worst way to spend your birthday, it's 30 degrees, [D]Thursday
You wo[Em]rk late, you was with a p[C]erv making dirty fake [G]love in his Mercedes
Lady[G] , the word "rape" sums up events that take place every night
You wanna get up but you know your legs will ache if you t[D]ry
And you[Em] remember that your punter went crazy las[C]t night
You d[G]rag yourself to the mirror to check your face then you cry
For[Am]get the visit to the clinic you was booked in for
Y[Cadd9]ou'll make a trip to the Whittington where they'll look at your jaw
They[G]'ll be inquisitive and ask about your business for sure
They'[D]ll know you're fibbing if you tell them you got hit by a door
But yo[Am]ung woman, the pimp sees you as nothing but a dumb hooker
Medic[Cadd9]al attention could be fatal cause the c*** wouldn't
Ever [G]let a doctor near someone that's getting dough for him
Cause[D] next you got poxy authorities sticking their noses in

[Hook 1: Ed Sheeran]
She's j[Em]ust under the u[Cadd9]pper hand
[G]Goes mad for a couple grams
[Em]And she don't wanna [Cadd9]go outside[G] , tonight
Cause in a p[Em]ipe she'll fly to the mothe[Cadd9]rland and
Sell[G] love to another man
[Em]It's too [Cadd9]cold outsi[G]de
For angels to [Em]fly [C] [G]
For angels to [Em]fly [C] [G]

[Verse 2: Mikill Pane]
[G]Little lady, your mind you've made up

Your injuries you can't hide with make-up
You nee[D]d some medical a[Em]dvice, you make up a little [C]lie to say just
In case the d[G]oc opens his eyes and don't decide to play dumb
W[G]ith any luck you'll see the same dude who stitched your top lip

Last year when your pimp just lost it
He would[D]n't rec[Em]ognise you if you stared him in the face an[C]yway
Cause all the [G]heroin is making you age
But you're a he[Am]roine for taking the strain of being a prostitute and punching bag
[Cadd9]The funds you have left go where your from using MoneyGram
[G]Mother had to get you out the motherland to study
[D]That was all she struggled to have a single daughter with the upper hand
L[Am]ittle does she know you're never coming back?
[Cadd9]She put you in her brother's hands only for him to formulate another plan
H[G]e's the f-ing cause of your appalling state, this summer
F[D]ancy that, you came to London to get pimped by your uncle, damn

[HOOK]
She's j[Em]ust under the u[Cadd9]pper hand
[G]Goes mad for a couple grams
[Em]And she don't wanna [Cadd9]go outside[G] , tonight
Cause in a p[Em]ipe she'll fly to the mothe[Cadd9]rland and
Sell[G] love to another man
[Em]It's too [Cadd9]cold outsi[G]de
For angels to [Am]fly

[BRIDGE]
An angel will di[C]e
Covered in whi[Em]te
Closed eyes and [G]hoping for a better life
Th[Am]is time, we'll fade out ton[C]ight
Straight down the [Em]line[C] [G]

[Em] [C] [G]

[Verse 3: Mikill Pane]
L[Am]ittle lady, you're trembling with fear
You[Cadd9]r skinny frame kinda resembles a deer
You're sitting facing the d[G]etective, oh dear

The meddling nurse couldn't just leave it
She's [D]only gone and made it much worse calling police and
She'll n[Am]ever know the gravity of the damage she's caused
You're causing [Cadd9]scandal going mad in the ward now
The cop is trying to [G]calm you, telling you he won't let no one harm you
The s[D]ame question he keeps trying to ask you, "Who you working for?"
He's[Am] talking to you like you're worth more than a dirty whore
You'r[Cadd9]e having a conversation you could be murdered for
You're learning more [G]about exactly why you need to help bring him or her to court
He's [D]kicking knowledge you ain't ever heard before
Just before he [Am]leaves, he reassures you that he knows that it's hard
He und[Cadd9]erlines a mobile number you can phone on his card
Begs you to [G]use it, he's useless if you're gonna be stupid
Cause an [D]answer hasn't come from your bruised lips, you're on your own
Y[Am]ou've gotta go and give your pimp what you owe
You reach your [Cadd9]door and then it dawns that you've been followed home
Before you t[G]urn around you feel a cold blade on your throat
And then a [D]voice says, "Where you been b****? I wanna know"
No prizes f[Am]or guessing who it is, resistance would be foolishness
You o[Cadd9]pen the front door, he boots you in
There's something n[G]ew in him, he's silent now that fills you with terror
Get your a[D]libi straight, you could be killed for an error
He towers o[Am]ver you, the 6 inch knife catches the sunlight
At t[Cadd9]his point your life flashes before your eyes, your handbag's [G]dropped

And all the contents are all over the floor
Despite the [D]mess there's only one thing that's caught his eye
And in the [Am]moment of rage, he brutally murders his niece
And dumps her b[Cadd9]ody in the boot of his Mercs in the street
[G] Little lady left this earth in the worst way
All beca[D]use she got a card on her 13th birthday

[Hook 2: Ed Sheeran]
A[Em]nd we're all under the up[Cadd9]per hand
An[G]d go mad for a couple grams
A[Em]nd we don't wanna g[Cadd9]o outside, t[G]onight
Cause in a p[Em]ipe she'll fly to the mo[Cadd9]therland and
Se[G]ll love to another man
[Em]It's too c[Cadd9]old outs[G]ide
For angels to fly [Em] [C] [G]
For angels to fly[Em] [C] [G]
Fly, fly[Em] [C] [G]
For angels [Em]to fly
To fl[C]y, to fl[G]y
An[D]gels to d[G]ie
