Am
You're a pretty butterfly and
G
You keep on passing by
  D  
You never land inside my hands
      F
Your home is in the sky

And there's a lesson waiting to be learned
The fire starters always get the burns
And the good guys never get the girl
And shooting stars cannot fix the world

Chorus:
    F
And I've made the same mistakes
       C      G   F
But I won't this time
      C      G   F
No I won't this time

And you're a pretty butterfly
And I believed all your lies
I'm blinded by your sideways smile
And the kindness in your eyes

But there's a limit to your flight
I can offer you a better life
But you keep on flying from the light
And I've lost my faith in wrong and right

Chorus

    C
I know exactly what you'll do
  Am
I made damn sure I studied you
     F
You won't pick me I am just a breeze
G
Underneath your wings
       C
So I pray each night you'll change your mind
     Am
And maybe I am worth the fight
    F
But I am wrong every time
    G                  C Am F G
You only know how to fly
