Butterfly Bones

C                            
When one year ends and another 
   F               C
begins and the sky is a shower of 
sparks
C                               G
With your skinny girls arms with the
 hairs on their ends like 
exclamation marks
C                               F
Well I admit I was scared, I felt
               C
 unprepared if I need you tell me 
where you'll be
C               F       C       
You said “It's not 
F       C       G       C
surprising, just look to the 
horizon, it's the circle in the 
middle is me”

C                               F
A week in the hospital, always 
               C
sick when you were little, you were 
brittle like butterfly bones
C                               G
I wish I had been there to run a 
comb through your hair - it always 
smelt like smoke and pine cones
C                               F
But then the devil shot through, 
               C
you got stronger as you grew but 
they treat you like you're never
 the same
C               F       C       
You filled your one good lung 
F       C       G       C
and bit down hard on your tongue 
just to keep yourself from going

Darren does much finger picking here
 in a guitar solo)

(Middle 8)
G               C
And the rides keep on turning
G               C
And our lives insist on turning
G               C
And my mind it keeps on learning
C               F
But I can smell something burning 
mmm

C                               F
Now in a minute or less I tried 
               C
to confess every single thing I've 
learnt so far
C                               G
In a skirt that you'd stolen as the 
road was unrolling and unreelin' 
'neath the wheels of the car
C                               F
No I haven't been drinking, I 
               C
don't know what I was thinking but 
it really don't mean a thing
C               F       C       
She said “do me a favour if
F       C       G       C
 you wanna be my saviour then you're
 gonna have to wait 'til the 
spring”
C               F       C       
She said “do me a favour if
F       C       G       C
 you wanna be my saviour then you're
 gonna have to learn how to 
sing”
