F#m G D/F# Em A7
[Verse 1]
Bm A/C# G
Leaving’s easier on the mind than being the one who’s left behind
Bm A/C# G
And I’m reminded every time I call
Em
Past waterfalls and southern drawls
Em7
Back bus bunks and concert halls
Em A7
It all seems hollow seen through just one pair of eyes
[Chorus]
D G
So don’t you worry, Ladybug
F#m G
I miss you like a metaphor
F#7 G D/F# Em
I won’t say what’s been said before
A7
Or make a promise I can’t keep
D G
Don’t you worry, Ladybug
F#m G
I’ll come home home like a simile
F#7 G D/F# Em
'Cause no amount of imagery
A7 D
can measure up to you
[Verse 2]
Bm A/C# G
I may see some crazy shit and sometimes I’ll seem full of it
Bm A/C# G
And I may be a thousand miles away
Em
But I’m always with you, I’m always with you
Em7
Even with no body to give you
Em A7
My mind it stays behind to see you through your day
[Chorus]
D G
So don’t you worry, Ladybug
F#m G
I miss you like a metaphor
F#7 G D/F# Em
I won’t say what’s been said before
A7
Or make a promise I can’t keep
D G
Don’t you worry, Ladybug
F#m G
I’ll come home home like a simile
F#7 G D/F# Em
'Cause no amount of imagery
A7 D
can measure up to you
[Verse 3]
Bm A/C# G
I don’t believe in destiny and yet this path in front of me
Bm A/C# G
Is one I feel I have no choice but to take
Em
And one day I’ll bring you along
Em7
‘Cause right now lady I feel numb
Em A7
And what good is success on anesthesia I can’t shake?
[Chorus]
D G
So don’t you worry, Ladybug
F#m G
I miss you like a metaphor
F#7 G D/F# Em
I won’t say what’s been said before
A7
Or make a promise I can’t keep
D G
Don’t you worry, Ladybug
F#m G
I’ll come home like a simile
F#7 G D/F# Em
When no amount of imagery
A7 D
can measure up to you
F#7 G D/F# Em
We don't need no imagery,
A7 D
'cause I'm coming home to you

version 2
Tuning:D A D F# A D
Capo 6 in the album or capo 7 in the video
Open D tuning
There is a rolling bass pattern with your thumb for much of the song, often
alternating between the 4th
and 6th strings
If you're having trouble learning a section, sometimes it helps to get the hang
of playing the bass notes
first, then add in the extra picking parts when you're comfortable with that.

Leaving's easier on the mind
Than being the one who's left behind
And I'm reminded every time I call
Past waterfalls and southern drawls
Back bus bunks and concert halls
It all feels hollow seen through just one pair of eyes
So don't you worry, Ladybug
I miss you like a metaphor
I won't say what's been said before
Or make a promise I can't keep
Don't you worry, Ladybug
I'll come home like a simile
'Cause no amount of imagery
Can measure up to you
I may see some crazy shit
And sometimes I'll seem full of it
And I may be a thousand miles away
But I'm always with you, I'm always with you
Even with no body to give you
My mind it stays behind to see you through your day
So don't you worry, Ladybug
I miss you like a metaphor
I won't say what's been said before
Make a promise I can't keep
Don't you worry, Ladybug
I'll come home like a simile
'Cause no amount of imagery
Can measure up to you
I don't believe in destiny
And yet this path in front of me
Is one I feel I have no choice but to take
And one day I'll bring you along
'Cause right now lady I feel numb
And what good is success on anesthesia I can't shake?
Don't you worry, Ladybug
I miss you like a metaphor
I won't say what's been said before
Make a promise I can't keep
Don't you worry, Ladybug
'Cause I'll come home like a simile
When no amount of imagery
Can measure up to you
We don't need no imagery
'Cause I'm coming home
To you
