Yellow Butterfly

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


    G                           A 
And I, I can still hear that 
                    Bm
scream, It's still lingering, in the
 air, everywhere.
                     A          
"Mother, please save me, grab my 
                     G
hand" (I can't I can't)
                      A        
I can still see that face, sink 
              Bm
beneath the waves.
Baby please, breath for me, give me 
           A
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     
   Every night on a Monday, I 
will visit the same spot that I 
G
hate.
                              A    
Yes the place that baby loved, and 
now she can taste it, it took her 
    D
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.
Ian still won't even talk to me, 
         Bm
talk to me!

Isn't this pain, guilt enough?
                            D    
I can't even look out the window, 
                                A
without seeing reflections distorted
 in the sun.



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

away.


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


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


D

    D
away.
                 Bm              G
Oh it took her away. Took her 
      A
away.


Bm                 G             
   So I had a coma, when I 
                D
crashed my car in the lake.
                              A    
I saw your face down there I knew, 
                 Bm
it was not a mistake.
                     G             
So I went to the doctor. I told 
                     D
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     
   Then I'll like it too, even 
                        D
though it scares me now.
                    A
But when I'm with you.
Bm                G              
   I'll be just fine, I'll be 
     D
just fine.


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