Yellow Butterfly

Bm                           G
   She was just five years old.
                   D
A slightly moody day.
                    A                              Bm
She couldn't stay away, from that rivers edge and I.
                      G
I turn my back to count.
                                 D
All the daffodil seas that surrounded.
                           A
I close my eyes, and then heard the water wake up.


    G                           A                     Bm
And I, I can still hear that scream, It's still lingering, in the air, everywhere.
                     A                               G
"Mother, please save me, grab my hand" (I can't I can't)
                      A                      Bm
I can still see that face, sink beneath the waves.
                                               A
Baby please, breath for me, give me time I am here.


               G
Where did you go?
            A
Where'd you go?
            G
Where'd you go?
                 A
Hey, where'd you go?


D
   Were the angels that lonely?
Bm
   Couldn't they suffice for anybody else?
G
Can't everybody just lie to me.
A
She's home, she's home. Crying for me now.
D                         Bm                                     G
   Every night on a Monday, I will visit the same spot that I hate.
                              A                                          D
Yes the place that baby loved, and now she can taste it, it took her away.


Bm                               G
   It's been five years since then.
                     D
And when it hits September.
                           A
I'll feel like I'm dying again.
                                          Bm
Ian still won't even talk to me, talk to me!
                           G
Isn't this pain, guilt enough?
                            D                                    A
I can't even look out the window, without seeing reflections distorted in the sun.



    G                           A                     Bm
And I, I can still hear that scream, It's still lingering, in the air, everywhere.
                     A                               G
"Mother, please save me, grab my hand" (I can't I can't)
                      A                      Bm
I can still see that face, sink beneath the waves.
                                               A
Baby please, breath for me, give me time I am here.


               G
Where did you go?
            A
Where'd you go?
            G
Where'd you go?
                 A
Hey, where'd you go?

                              A                                          D
Yes the place that baby loved, and now she can taste it, it took her away.


Bm                                  G
   And the pain hits me like gunshot.
                                         D                                A
Oh and I'm heading on the way to the floor, I hear her name and it kills me.
                                    Bm
Oh, bottles up, bottles up, bottles up.


                             G
And I'm trying my best to hurt me.
                        D
Ian says it's never enough.
                                       A                                      Bm      G  A
A razor to the wrist for each unshed tear, cough it up, drink it up, drink it up.


D

G

                              A                                          D
Yes the place that baby loved, and now she can taste it, it took her away.
                 Bm              G      A
Oh it took her away. Took her away.


Bm                 G                             D
   So I had a coma, when I crashed my car in the lake.
                              A                     Bm
I saw your face down there I knew, it was not a mistake.
                     G                                  D
So I went to the doctor. I told him, oh my heart will break,
                            A
If I couldn't see you. He just, gave me more pills.


Bm
   But, I saw you up there.
G
   Still floating by the river.
D
   God, you always loved that river.
A
   I bet your heaven looks just like it.


Bm                    G                             D
   Then I'll like it too, even though it scares me now.
                    A
But when I'm with you.
Bm                G                   D
   I'll be just fine, I'll be just fine.


                    A                       Bm           G            D
We can sit, we can talk about, talk about...Butterflies. Butterflies.
             A
Butterflies.
Bm
Butterflies
