This song was originally by 'Bright Eyes', but was covered by Lorde
for the 'Mockingjay: Part 1' Soundtrack.
Her version has slightly different words and chords to the original.

CAPO 2
Am E Am E
Am E
No one knows where the ladder goes
Am E
You're gonna lose what you love the most.
Dm F
You're not alone in anything
Dm F
You're not unique in dying.
Am E
I feel estranged every now and then
Am E
Fall asleep reading science fiction.
Dm F
I wanna fly in your silver ship
Dm F G
But my mama hang and my sister, sit.
C G
It's on now, the days are long now
F G
The ups and the sundowns, and a twisting mind.
C G
If I gotta go first, I'll do it on my terms
F G
I'm tired of traitors always changing sides.
Am G F
They were friends of mine.
Am E
Don't hang around once the promise breaks
Am E
Or you'll be there when the next one's made
Dm F
Kiss the feet of a charlatan
Dm F
Some imagine freedom.
Am E
All the rest is predictable
Am E
Trying your hardest to melt the snow
Dm F
Tie the knots to concentrate
Dm F G
Keep on pulling, that rope will break.
Dm G
We'll welcome the new age
C F Dm
Covered in warrior paint.
G C
Lights from the jungle to the sky
Dm G
See now, the star burst
C F
Looks just like a blood orange.
Dm G C
Don't it just make you wanna cry,
Am G F
Precious friend of mine?
Am E Am E
Am E
Will I know when it's finally done?
Am E
This whole life's a hallucination.
Dm F
You're not alone in anything,
Dm F C
You're not alone in trying to be.
