F#    D#m            B
Yesterday I went outside
        C#             F#
With my momma's mason jar
         D#m            B
Caught a lovely butterfly
F#     D#m        B
When I woke up today
          C#           F#
Looked in on my fairy pet
         D#m           B
She had withered all away
                        C#
No more sighing in her breast

Chorus:
                     F#
I'm sorry for what I did
       D#m          B
I did what my body told me to
   C#                    F#
I didn't mean to do you harm
     F#7               B             C#
Everytime I pin down what I think I want
          F#
It slips away
         D#m          B
There it goes slips away

Smell you on my hand for days
I can't wash away your scent
If I'm a dog, then you're a bitch
I guess you're as real as me
Maybe I can live with that
Maybe I need fantasy
Life of chasing butterfly

Chorus:
I'm sorry for what I did
I did what my body told me to
I didn't mean to do you harm
Every time I pin down what
I think I want, it slips away
The ghost slips away

I told you I would return
When the robin makes his nest
But I ain't never coming back

I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
