Intro-
Am Gsus4 C5 Am/F
Am
You're a pretty butterfly and
Gsus4
You keep on passing by
C5
You never land inside my hands

Your home is in the sky

And there's a lesson waiting to be learned

The fire starters always get the best

And the good guys never get the girl

And I've made the same mistakes

And you're a pretty butterfly

And kindness in your eyes
Am
But there's a limit to your flight
Gsus4
I can offer you a better life
C5
But you keep on flying from the light

And I've lost my faith in wrong and right
F
And I've made the same mistakes

I know exactly what you'll do
Am

You won't pick me I am just a breeze
G
Underneath your wings

So I pray each night you'll change your mind
Am
And maybe I am worth the fight

But I am wrong every time
