      G             C               D               G    G    G
Dying slowly on the water with your paper wings all wet.

         G            C             D                      G    G
Floating limply after flying in the clouds, soon you'll be dead.

        Em                           C
As your colours fade away, it's over now, there's no more playing,

        D                               D
no more resting on the flowers, no more hiding from the showers.

         G                                  Em
Day will end, the sun is red, now all those things you can forget,

        C            D              G       G
now you know there's not much to forget.

      G             D               C               G
Dying slowly on the water with your paper wings all wet.

[Interlude] | G | G | [Verse 2]

       G          C               D                 G    G    G
Let me be a happy butterfly after whom the children run.

       G          C                 D                 G    G
Let me be a happy butterfly, always searching for the sun.

          Em                                 C
I know my life will end tomorrow, there's no time for feeling sorrow

      D                               D
for I still see all the flowers under which I hid from showers.

      G                           Em
But I can't get up that high so I dream that I can fly

          C                   D              G       G
and those dreams will have to take me to the sun.

       G          D               C                 G
Let me be a happy butterfly after whom the children run.

[Interlude] | G | G | [Solo] (Strings) | G C | D G | G | | G C | D G | G | | Em | C | D | D | | G | Em | C D | G | | G D | C G | G | G | [Verse 3]

              G        C                 D                G    G    G
It would be a lie if I thought a man had need of coloured wings,

        G        C                 D               G    G
to fly away from all the pain that living seems to bring.

      Em                                 C
But today I've changed my mind because I find that I have been blind.

           D                                   D
I couldn't see that even you could have life's pain and trouble too.

      G                             Em
Now I see that all my flying really means I wasn't trying

        C             D                  G       G
to find other ways to meet what life can bring.

       G      D               C                 G
To be alive I had not need to use your coloured wings.
