D G D G Verse 1:
D You can't put a butterfly in a jar
G If the effort's too high no matter who you are
D You can't catch the moon, or the sun or the stars
G It doesn't matter who you are Chorus:
D Iced honey
G Iced honey Verse 2:
D Now me I've tried a million tricks
G To make life cold and make it stick
D Not running heat that flames then out
G But the proud piece of ice that always floats (Repeat Chorus) Verse 3:
D If I can't trap a butterfly or a bee
G If I can't keep my heart where I want it to be
D If no matter how much soul and heart I put to the wood
G If a flaming heart is not that good (Repeat Chorus) Verse 4:
Continues after the ad
D If you can't put a butterfly in a jar
G If violence mars your final hour
D If you make others feel like jam
G Poured on a piece of charbroiled lamb Verse 5:
D If it's all mixed up and you cannot shout
G And your oxygen starts to run out
D If your final gasp has the recipe wrong
G And instead of hello you say so long Verse 6:
D If your energy starts to leak out
G And people wonder what you're all about
D A heartbreaker with an unattached heart
G The story of love gives them all a start Verse 7:
D And me, I've always been this way
G Not by choice, just this way
D I can't put my honey pot in a jar
G Or a heart or a fist of some young boy Verse 8:
D If you can't put a butterfly in a jar
G No wonder no need to wonder where you are
D It might seem like Hell, the river Styx
G Your affection never sticks Verse 9:
D No matter what you say, no matter what you do
G A butterfly heart flies right past you
D There's nothing to say, nothing to do
G See if the ice will melt for you Bridge:
D See if the ice will melt for you
G See if the ice will melt for you
D See if the ice will melt for you
D See if the ice will melt for you Chorus:
D Iced honey
G Iced Honey
D Iced honey
G Iced Honey (Repeat Bridge) Outro Chorus:
D Iced honey (See if the ice will melt for you)
G Iced Honey (See if the ice will melt for you)
D Iced honey (See if the ice will melt for you)
G See if the, see if the ice will melt for you (See if the ice will melt for you)
D Iced honey (See if the ice will melt for you)
G Iced Honey (See if the ice will melt for you)
D Iced honey
