[Verse 1] (5/4 5/4 5/4 6/8 )
D Dmaj7 G/B G If I could fly at the speed of light, I could get to Canis Major in five thousand years D Dmaj7 G/B G Butterflies and black and bluebirds, I'll never be the same since I met you, girl D Dmaj7 G/B G Pennies thrown into a fountain, make a wish, blow out the candles, take a breath D Dmaj7 G/B G God is troubling when you consider believers that would welcome the end of the world

[Verse 2]
D Dmaj7 G/B G Ashes, stardust, look at us climbing out the mud D Dmaj7 G/B G Let's go round the block, we'll make the most before the jig is up D Dmaj7 G/B G Dreamers, the big talk, high wire circus never stop D Dmaj7 G/B G Ashes, stardust, look at you crawling out the mud

[Verse 3]
D Dmaj7 G/B G I know that dying is scary to us but everybody do it one, two, three D Dmaj7 G/B G On the sidewalk, the dandelion is reaching from a crack up to the sun D Dmaj7 G/B G Words can be a wicked tool for twisting truth I want to be true to you D Dmaj7 G/B G Blood and bones, black holes and stones, all those things pave the way for you and me
[Chorus]
Em G A Asus4 A Em G A Asus4 A Got a job and it pays me, I want love more than I deserve Em G A Asus4 A Em G A Asus4 A The headlines make me crazy, got to be a way to make it work, oh
[Verse 4]
D Dmaj7 G/B G Ashes, stardust, look at us crawling out the mud D Dmaj7 G/B G Let's go around the block, we'll make the most before the jig is up D Dmaj7 G/B G Camp fire, high rise, we never did quite know when to stop D Dmaj7 G/B G Ashes, stardust look at me crawling out the mud

[Outro]
D Dmaj7 G/B G Butterflies and black and bluebirds, I'll never be the same since I met you D Dmaj7 G/B G If I could fly at the speed of light, I could get to Betelgeuse in about six hundred years D Dmaj7 G/B G Butterflies and black and bluebirds...
