[Verse 1] 0:20
Dm Dm7/C BbM7 A7
One more butterfly born to surely die,
Dm Dm7/C Bb A7
The wings shows glory with a teardrop on the side,
Dm Dm7/C Bb7 A7
There is no beauty they ever try to hide,

Hey fistful wind, won't you take a break for me,

Lately I've been tired and I'm trying to plant seeds,
Dm Dm7/C BbM7 A
My friend, the rain, will soon come help me out,
Dm Dm7/C Bb A A A7 ^
The shadow's uninvited and he carries all the doubts..
[Chorus] 1:00

I threw a coin down the wishing well,
C7 F
I waited for the splash but it went straight downhill,
C7 F
Then almost jumped inside to get it back,
A7 A7 ^
'Cause I've been counting all the pennies that I have..

Someone flicks the switch and the sun fades away,

These wings are worthless at the end of the day,
Dm Dm7/C Bb A A A7 ^
A little drop of water drowns a burning flame.
[Chorus] 1:56
C7 F
I threw a coin down the wishing well,

I waited for the splash but it went straight downhill,
C7 F
Then almost jumped inside to get it back,
A7 A7 ^
'Cause I've been counting all the pennies that I have..
