E      Bm     D             A                           
Hey, Ladybird, ain't it just the way, 

A            E                   D            A
the way that love grows cold and then fades away

E           Bm             D           A                  
Now when he touches you, make no mistake, 

A             E                  D          A   E
the fire's long gone out and the ash has blown away.

D                      A             Bm                  D
You don't know how to leave, and you don't know where to fly.

D                        A           Bm                  D      E
You don't know what you feel. but you know it's not satisfied today.

E        Bm        D         A                     
So many little ones, so many mouths, 

A            E                    D                   A
you've got a lot to feed and you know you don't know how. 

E          Bm           D                    A               
Making the best of it, somehow you're making do, 

A           E                         D                         A            E
making the best of the days that you stay and you wait in this cage they made for you.

D                      A             Bm                  D
You don't know how to leave and you don't know where to fly. 

D                      A             Bm                  D
You've got a lot of things to lose, so you've got a lot of things to hide. 

D                      A             Bm               D      E
You know you don't believe but you know you've got to try today.

E            Bm            D         A  
You know the sweetest wine, it's a witches' brew, 

A            E                    D            A
pours like honey down and then burns a hole in you.

E             Bm                D               A   
Yeah, you may think you're done but you're never through 

A                 E            D                   A       E
spitting out the bitterness to get the little sweetness you do.

D                      A             Bm                  D
You don't know how to leave and you don't know where to fly. 

D                      A             Bm                  D
You've got a lot of things to lose, so you've got a lot of things to hide. 

D                      A       Bm                        D
You don't know what you feel but you know it's not satisfied. 

D                      A             Bm               D      E
You know you don't believe but you know you've got to try today.

E               D
Feel the winter bitterness

     A            E                 Bm
it's heavy on the wind, coming back again.

G                  D   Bm           E
Maybe it's time to fly, time to fly away!  

G                                    D   Bm                   E
When you gonna spread your wings and fly When you gonna fly away
