Em7                 Cmaj7
Tell me a story of mind over matter
    Em7                Cmaj7
The hope and glory of life ever after
     Em7                    Cmaj7
The sound and the fury the cloak and the dagger
A7sus4                 G   Cmaj7
Days when we sink like a stone

Porcelain portraits and silver medallions
Plasticine soldiers that march in battalions
Angels of mercy and lifelong companions
Days when we sink like a stone

There a room somewhere with a different look
Where your secret life is an open book
Where the love we made was a chance we took
Days when we sink like a stone

Chorus:
B              Em        Am        G
Ladybird fly away our friends are gone
B              Em       Am     G   D
Ladybird fly away our house is on fire

Let us be lovers we'll melt after midnight
Hoist up the mainsail we'll coast through the daylight
Twisted like candles that fade in the half-light
Days when we sink like a stone

Well we die sometimes to begin again
When the same old dreams have the same old end
When we lose our mind or we lose our friends
Days when we sink like a stone

Chorus - x2

E
Your friends have gone

Porcelain portraits and silver medallions

Your friends have gone
Cmaj7
Plasticine soldiers that march in battalions
E
Your friends have gone
Cmaj7
Angels of mercy and lifelong companions

Em7                 Cmaj7
Tell me a story of mind over matter
    Em7                Cmaj7
The hope and glory of life ever after
     Em7                    Cmaj7
The sound and the fury the cloak and the dagger
