Butterfly

Tom: D

D
You’ve been through many stages of your
A/C#
 Life
Bm                     G
First aground now a cocoon up high
D                                          A/C#
And as the days have gone by
                      Bm
And time started to fly,
                       G
You felt dead, but I promise
 A                       D
Your time has just arrived


[Pre-Chorus]
G
Spread your hopes
      A
Don’t let them die
        Bm                A
There's more to you than meets the eye


[Chorus]
D
It's ok butterfly you don't have to feel the
Bm
 Night

Spread your wings hold them high
                           G
You may fall but you won't die
                         A
When the voices from the ground
                              G
Say you're too high come back down

                             A
Tell them I don't know ‘bout you
                   D
But I was born to fly


[Instrumental]
 Bm          G        D
To fly ……


[Verse 2]
                           A/C#
It's not been easy knowing you will fly
Bm                           G
When all that you can do is crawl and hide
D                        A/C#
But it's ok your season on the ground
                Bm
oh oh oh oh oh oh
                     G
It’s hard to become stronger now


[Pre-Chorus]
G
Spread your hopes
      A
Don’t let them die
        Bm               A
There's more to you than meets the eye


[Chorus]
D
It's ok butterfly you don't have to feel the
Bm
 Night

Spread your wings hold them high
                            G
You may fall but you won't die

                          A
When the voices from the ground
                              G
Say you’re too High come back down
                             A
Tell them I don't know ‘bout you
                   D
But I was born to fly


[Instrumental]
E         D/F#  G
-e-e-e-e oh oh oh
               D     E     D/F#
I was born to fly ee-ee-ee-ee
G     D/F#  A
haaaa oh haaaa


[Chorus/Tag]
D                                    A/C#
It's ok butterfly you don't have to run and
Bm
hide

Spread your wings hold high
                              G
You once scrawled but now you fly
                         A
When the voices from the ground
                        G
Now are started to fade out
                       A
As you soar across the sky
                         D
‘cause you were born to fly
