Am D Bm Em Bm Am
You know you're never gonna feel as right
Bm Cmaj7
Than in your gold past life
Am D Bm Em Bm Am
A ship of paper on a sea of fire
Bm C
Back to your gold past life
[Verse 1]
Gmaj7
Helplessly staring at the stagnant stars
Dm
What was this thing that took your spirit away?
Am
Head on the bug splattered hood of your car
G Cmaj7
You pray
[Verse 2]
Gmaj7
Breathlessly calling up your old love
Dm
Why did she have to take your essence from you?
Cmaj7
Life's been rougher but lately it's pretty rough
Amaj7
For you
[Verse 3]
Cmaj7
You used to dance in the night
Amaj7
With a girl you loved so much
Cmaj7 Am
You used to look her in the eyes as the nightbirds sang
[Chorus]
Am D Bm Em Bm Am
You know you're never gonna feel as right
Bm Cmaj7
Than in your gold past life
Am D Bm Em Bm Am
A ship of paper on a sea of fire
Bm Cmaj7
Back to your gold past life
Am D Bm Em Bm Am
I know you're never gonna feel as right
Bm Am
Than in your gold past life
G Cmaj7
Back to your gold past life
[Verse 4]
Gmaj7
Helplessly staring at a cumulus
Dm
What caused this flood that washed your courage away?
Cmaj7
With your heart in a knot you cry for love and loss
Amaj7
For all of us
[Verse 5]
Cmaj7
You used to stare into the void
Amaj7
With the love of your life
Cmaj7
You used to whisper in her ear
Am
"Little butterfly..."
[Chorus]
