The Butcher And The Butterfly

E                         A  
There is a finger missing on my 
         C
right hand
E                         A      
A butcher's hand in a butterfly 
     C
wing span
E                         A      
The sky hangs on a thread as I 
        C
paint the white picket fence red
E                 A         C
Said "Am I alive or am I dead?"

[Verse 2]
E                   A       
I caught a rainbow tear in her 
    C        E    A   C
sunset smile
E                  A           C
I told the broken bird of my 
        E    A   C
unborn child
E                    A      C   
These blood-stained walls crown 
       E    A   C
her head
E           A            C       
I found my girl bleeding in his 
  E    A   C
bed

[Chorus]
A          G                  E
The angels cried in butterfly red
(The butcher and the butterfly)
A             G               E
Her wings are torn, my baby's dead
Continues after the ad
(The butcher and the butterfly)

[Verse 3]
E         A           C         
I put my girl in the butcher's 
E    A   C
hand
E           A       C            
"She is my curse," cried fireman 
E    A   C
Sam
E            A        C         
Heaven down below inscribes her 
E    A   C
name
E              A          C     
My baby girl's lost in amongst 
      E    A   C
these flames

[Chorus]
A          G                  E
The angels cried in butterfly red
(The butcher and the butterfly)
A             G               E
Her wings are torn, my baby's dead
(The butcher and the butterfly)
E
Oh heaven, help me what have I done?
E                               C
I kissed the daughter of my 
    E    E    C
unborn son

[Interlude]
E   E   E   A   G
E   A   C

[Verse 4]
E               A     C         
Heaven down below inscribed her 
E    A   C
name
E           A             C      
Let heaven, heaven rain down 
E    A   C
again

[Chorus]
A          G                  E
The angels cried in butterfly red
(The butcher and the butterfly)
A             G               E
Her wings are torn, my baby's dead
(The butcher and the butterfly)
A          G                  E
The angels cried in butterfly red
(The butcher and the butterfly)
A             G               E
Her wings are torn, my baby's dead
(The butcher and the butterfly)
