Butterflies Instead

Tom: Em

                            C
I lock the door and lock my head
                             G
And dream of butterflies instead
                             C
The beauty of their colored wings
                                  A
The trees, the grass and pretty things
        B            C
Imagination fills the void of my existence


D     G                                    C 
Daddy says "I love you girl, it's not your fault
                           G
Your mom and me don't get along"
                                 C
I know he's lying, I know there's no such thing as
           Am         Bm                 C
Inexplicable I hear, forget, this world in bed
                           Em
And suddenly the sun comes up
               C            D
That's when my pets all come alive

They cheer me up and tell me


G
Everything's alright
         D           Em   C      G
Stuffed animals are always right


G                            C
My favorite song, my favorite show
                      G  
I wonder if they even know
                           C
Or if they care or if they even notice
               Am
I am standing there
           Bm           C
I want my pets to come alive
                         D
And cheer me up and tell me


G
Everything's alright
         D          Em   C
Stuffed animals are always right
G
Everything's alright
         D          Em   C    A    C   A/D  Cm  
Stuffed animals are always right
   G#     C#    A#m   C#m 
Alright...


G          C              Am
My eyes all red, the baby's wet
            Cm             G
And someone has to get that phone
           C           Am
I want my pets to come alive and
        Cm
Cheer me up and tell me

   
   G   C   Am   Cm  
Alright...
   G   C   Am   Cm   G
Alright...

Only bass:

G
I lock the door and lock my head
          g  N.C. or instruments 
And dream of butterflies instead
