Verse 1:

G9            G        Am7b5    
Butterflies begin from having 
     Am7b5*
been a larva

G9            G         Am7b5    
As a child is born from being in 
  Am7b5*   Eb7
a mother's womb

    C#7      C7             Fm   
But how many times have you 
                G#7    Bbm7
wished you were some other

C9                   F     F7
Someone than who you are


Chorus 1:

    Eb       D9          Gm7 Gm6
Yet who's to say that if all 
    Fm9      Fm7  Cm7/G
were uncovered,

         D7            G*    Em7  
You will like what you see.
 Am7


D9/A            Gmaj9   Esus4  E
You can only be you,
  Am7*


D9/A             G9 (then play intro
 once)
as I can only be me.


Verse 2:

G9              G      Am7b5    
Flowers cannot bloom until it is
       Am7b5*
 their season

G9                 G      Am7b5 
As we would not be here unless 
        Am7b5* Eb7
it was our destiny

    C#7      C7             Fm   
But how many times have you 
           G#7     Bbm7
wished to be in spaces

C9                         F      F7
Time, places than what you were


Chorus 2:

    Eb       D9       Gm         
Yet who's to say with unfamiliar 
Bb7
faces

Cm7       D7       G*    Em7  Am7
You could any more be

D9/A                  Gmaj9   
Loving you that you'd see
Esus4  E  Am7*


D9/A            Gmaj9   Esus4  E
You can only be you,
  Am7*


D9/A             G9 (then play intro
 twice)
as I can only be me. Oooh . . .

              G*
I can only be me
