Tabbed by: DJ

Em7Cadd9
Tell me a story of mind over matter,
Em7Cadd9
The hope and the glory of life ever after,
Em7Cadd9
The sound and the fury, the cloak and the dagger,
A7Cadd9Cadd9#11Cadd9
Days when we sink like a stone! /_/_/ | /_/_/ /_/_/ |

Porcelain portraits on silver medallions,
Em7Cadd9
Plasticine soldiers that march in battalions,

Angels of mercy, and lifelong companions,

There's a room, somewhere, with a different look,
Em7Cadd9
Where your secret life is an open book,
Em7Cadd9
Where the love we made was a chance we took,
A7Cadd9Cadd9#11
Days when we sink like a stone!

Ladybird, fly a - way, your friends are gone,
B7Em7DCEm7Dsus2
Ladybird, fly a - way, your house is on fire!
Em7Cadd9
Let us be lovers, we'll melt after midnight,
Em7Cadd9
Hoist up the main sail, and coast through to daylight,
Em7Cadd9
Twisted like candles that fade in the half-light,
A7Cadd9Cadd9#11
Days when we sink like a stone!
Em7Cadd9
Well, we die, sometimes, to be - gin again,
Em7Cadd9
When the same old dreams have the same old end,
Em7Cadd9
When we lose our mind, or we lose our friends,
A7Cadd9Cadd9#11
Days when we sink like a stone!
