Em7 Cadd9Tell me a story of mind over matter,
Em7 Cadd9The hope and the glory of life ever after,

Em7 Cadd9Porcelain portraits on silver medallions,
Em7 Cadd9Plasticine soldiers that march in battalions,
Em7 Cadd9Angels of mercy, and lifelong companions,

Em7 Cadd9There's a room, somewhere, with a different look,
Em7 Cadd9Where your secret life is an open book,
Em7 Cadd9Where the love we made was a chance we took,

Em7 Cadd9Let us be lovers, we'll melt after midnight,
Em7 Cadd9Hoist up the main sail, and coast through to daylight,
Em7 Cadd9Twisted like candles that fade in the half-light,
A7 Cadd9 Cadd9#11 Cadd9Days when we sink like a stone!
Em7 Cadd9Well, we die, sometimes, to be - gin again,
Em7 Cadd9When the same old dreams have the same old end,
Em7 Cadd9When we lose our mind, or we lose our friends,
