Em         G     D
I had nothing to say on Christmas day
         C              Am             B7
When you threw all your clothes in the snow
         Em    D    G             D
When you burnt your hair, and you knocked over chairs
       C             B7          Em
I just tried to stay out of your way
 

[Chorus]
             G                 D
But when you fell asleep, With blood on your teeth,
       C         Am7            B7
I just got in my car and drove away
          G         D
Listen to me, butterfly
        C    B7      Em
There's only so much wine


[Instrumental]
Em  G  D  Bm  C  Am7  B7
Em  G  D  Bm  C  B7   Em


[Verse 2]
          Em            G      D          Bm
Where the state highway starts, I stop my car
      C       Am              B7
I get out, to stare up at the stars
       Em      G
And as meteors die
    D
And shout across the sky
       C                  B7          Em
I just thought about your sad shining eyes


[Chorus 2]
            G                             D
When I went back for my clothes, when the sun finally rose
   C              Am                B7
Oh,You were still passed out on the floor
          G         D
Listen to me, butterfly
        C    B7      Em
There's only so much wine
          G         D
Listen to me, butterfly
        C    B7      Em
There's only so much wine
