[Intro]
Am C Dm C
[Verse 1]
Am Make a wish, drop a coin in the well F Picked her up hitching to Chicago C Dm Rucksack, skateboard, bashed up guitar Am Back of the bar she dances slow F Spins and spins, lost in her headphones C Dm A kiss that lasts the length of a distant song
[Verse 2]
Am Watching her sleep in the morning lights F Whispering dreams, no worry lines C Dm Butterfly writes a song in the air no man can read Am Sets down on a nest of red hair F Wings outspread open like a Bible C Dm She taste of sweetcorn, jasmine, cardamom seeds
[Chorus]
Am Bye, bye butterfly F Beyond the glass, the open sky Em Am Your time is brief, your impact fleetingly deep Am Gone, gone, the moment's gone F Flipped a coin and then move on Em Am Your time was brief, your impact deep
[Verse 3]
Am Spinner got hooked in the branch of an oak tree F Watching wind ripple through the wheat fields C Dm She found him sleeping in a pile of dead leaves Am Can't catch hold of a summer breeze F Hang your coat on a wave, on a sunbeam G Am She woke him up, he was asleep Am Can't catch hold of the summer breeze F Hang your coat on a wave, on a sunbeam G Am She woke him up, he was asleep
[Chorus]
Am Bye, bye butterfly F Beyond the glass, the open sky Em Am Your time is brief, your impact fleetingly deep Am Gone, gone, the moment's gone F Flipped a coin and then move on Em Am Your time was brief, your impact deep
[Bridge]
C Am F (Maybe it's a lie, maybe it's a crime) C (Maybe it's a one way street, uh-huh) C Am F (Maybe it's a lie, maybe it's a crime) C (Maybe it's a one way street, uh-huh)
[Verse 4]
Am Dives from the bridge, crushed by the waves F Ocean tears at his clothes, puts C rocks in his pockets He struggles to the place where the Dm car hit the sea Am Hand over fist down a rope of seaweed F Dives to the kelp bed floor, to the G wreck of the flat top car A Frees a red haired girl from the passenger seat, breathe, breathe
