Meg & Dia – Yellow Butterfly (Ukulele)

Am                           F
   She was just five years old.

                   C
A slightly moody day.

                    G                              Am
She couldn't stay away, from that rivers edge and I.

		      F
I turn my back to count.

				 C
All the daffodil seas that surrounded.

			   G
I close my eyes, and then heard the water wake up.

    F                           G		      Am
And I, I can still hear that scream, It's still lingering, in the air, everywhere.

                     G 				     F
"Mother, please save me, grab my hand" (I can't I can't)

		      G			     Am
I can still see that face, sink beneath the waves.

                                               G
Baby please, breath for me, give me time I am here.

               F
Where did you go?

	    G
Where'd you go?

	    F
Where'd you go?

		 G
Hey, where'd you go?

C
   Were the angels that lonely?

Am
   Couldn't they suffice for anybody else?

F
Can't everybody just lie to me.

G
She's home, she's home. Crying for me now.

C			  Am					 F
   Every night on a Monday, I will visit the same spot that I hate.

			      G						 C
Yes the place that baby loved, and now she can taste it, it took her away.

Am				 F
   It's been five years since then.

		     C
And when it hits September.

			   G
I'll feel like I'm dying again.

					  Am
Ian still won't even talk to me, talk to me!

			   F
Isn't this pain, guilt enough?

			    C					 G
I can't even look out the window, without seeing reflections distorted in the sun.

    F                           G		      Am
And I, I can still hear that scream, It's still lingering, in the air, everywhere.

                     G 				     F
"Mother, please save me, grab my hand" (I can't I can't)

		      G			     Am
I can still see that face, sink beneath the waves.

                                               G
Baby please, breath for me, give me time I am here.

               F
Where did you go?

	    G
Where'd you go?

	    F
Where'd you go?

		 G
Hey, where'd you go?

C
   Were the angels that lonely?

Am
   Couldn't they suffice for anybody else?

F
Can't everybody just lie to me.

G
She's home, she's home. Crying for me now.

C			  Am					 F
   Every night on a Monday, I will visit the same spot that I hate.

			      G						 C
Yes the place that baby loved, and now she can taste it, it took her away.

Am				    F
   And the pain hits me like gunshot.

					 C				  G
Oh and I'm heading on the way to the floor, I hear her name and it kills me.

				    Am
Oh, bottles up, bottles up, bottles up.

			     F
And I'm trying my best to hurt me.

			C
Ian says it's never enough.

				       G				      Am      F  G
A razor to the wrist for each unshed tear, cough it up, drink it up, drink it up.

C
   Were the angels that lonely?

Am
   Couldn't they suffice for anybody else?

F
Can't everybody just lie to me.

G
She's home, she's home. Crying for me now.

Yes the place that baby loved, and now she can taste it, it took her away.

		 Am		 F	G
Oh it took her away. Took her away.

Am		   F				 C
   So I had a coma, when I crashed my car in the lake.

			      G			    Am
I saw your face down there I knew, it was not a mistake.

		     F					C
So I went to the doctor. I told him, oh my heart will break,

			    G
If I couldn't see you. He just, gave me more pills.

Am
   But, I saw you up there.

F
   Still floating by the river.

C
   God, you always loved that river.

G
   I bet your heaven looks just like it.

Am		      F				    C
   Then I'll like it too, even though it scares me now.

		    G
But when I'm with you.

Am		  F		      C
   I'll be just fine, I'll be just fine.

		    G	 		    Am		 F	      C
We can sit, we can talk about, talk about...Butterflies. Butterflies.

	     G
Butterflies.

Am
