Tom: Am

Am7       C/G     C        Fmaj7/C
dirty old town, dirty old town,
            Am7         C/G            C        Fmaj7/C
they've got all your little problems clearly written down.
         Am7       C/G            C        Fmaj7/C
but you don't even know, and you can't even see
Am7       C/G                C        Fmaj7/C
Oh the butterfly that you're going to be,
Am7       C/G             C        Fmaj7/C
Oh the butterfly that you are becoming.
Am7     C/G   C       Fmaj7/C
all the road, all the miles,
Am7       C/G   C        Fmaj7/C
hair goes grey, eyes stay wide.
Am7       C/G   C           Fmaj7/C
fall into bed, turn off the light
Am7         C/G C
fall asleep inside. 

[Chorus]
Fmaj7      Am7  C/G     C   Fmaj7/C
you're the one, you're the one. 
Am7   C/G        C                          Fmaj7/C
hearts grow into hearts until hearts become one.
           Am7  C/G   C    Fmaj7/C
you're the one, you're the one.
  Am7        C/G         C                         Fmaj7/C
i carry your heart in my heart sung with every song.
                Am7  C/G  C  Fmaj7/C
but you're the one.
             Am7  C/G  C  Fmaj7/C
you're the one.

[Verse]
Am7          C/G          C        Fmaj7/C
poised with grace in this poisoned place.
    Am7          C/G       C                Fmaj7/C
and how you ever manage to keep it off your face.
        Am7        C/G        C        Fmaj7/C
but you don't even know, you can't even see
Am7          C/G             C       Fmaj7/C
Oh the butterfly that you're going to be,
Am7          C/G    C        Fmaj7/C
Oh the butterfly you are becoming.
Am7       C/G     C        Fmaj7/C
dirty old town, dirty old town,
            Am7         C/G            C           Fmaj7/C
they've got all your little Secrets clearly written down.
         Am7       C/G            C        Fmaj7/C
but you don't even know, and you can't even see
Am7       C/G                C        Fmaj7/C
Oh the butterfly that you're going to be,
Am7       C/G             C        Fmaj7/C
the butterfly that you are becoming.

[Chorus]
Fmaj7      Am7  C/G     C   Fmaj7/C
you're the one, you're the one. 
Am7   C/G        C                          Fmaj7/C
hearts grow into hearts until hearts become one.
           Am7  C/G   C    Fmaj7/C
you're the one, you're the one.
  Am7        C/G         C                         Fmaj7/C
i carry your heart in my heart sung with every song.
                Am7  C/G  C  Fmaj7/C
but you're the one.
             Am7  C/G  C  Fmaj7/C
you're the one.
