Am Em7 Am Em7

Am            Em7               Am       Em7
she watches a darkness creeping up about half past eight
Am             Em7             Am            Em7
she sits by the weeping willow says that she can relate
Am            Em7             Am          Em7
she dreams of someday getting out of this place
Am             Em7           Am           Em7
she says she's never felt at home even in her own face


G         D
I know it won't be long 
Am                   C
till you turn into a butterfly 
G                             D
I know you're weak and you're hanging on 
Am              Em7
go and give it another try 

Am Em7 Am Em7

Am            Em7               Am                   Em7
she dreams of puppies and those wings that look like parachutes 
Am            Em7             Am                   Em7
she dreams of waterfalls that sweep your feet from under you 
Am            Em7            Am                  Em7
she finds her comfort inside bedtime stories and fairy tales 
Am              Em7          Am              Em7
anything with a happy ending she says it can never fail 


G         D
I know it won't be long 
Am                   C
till you turn into a butterfly 
G                             D
I know you're weak but you're hanging on 
Am                          Em7
cause you're dreaming of an open sky 


F               G                   C          C/B        Am
she don't wanna talk about it cause that's all that she's done 
F               G              C             C/B  Am
she don't wanna think about it she's not the only one 
F                 G           C       C/B     Am
she doesn't wanna be what she doesn't have to be 
                Em  E
doesn't have to be 


Am            Em7              Am                 Em7
she wants to be the girl whose swept off her feet in the end 
Am           Em7                Am                Em7
she wants to live a life that's real and not just for pretend 
Am            Em7          Am                    Em7
she dreams of laughter echoing and says it's her favorite sound 
Am            Em7             Am              Em7
she dreams of plastic parents that will never let her down 


G         D
and I know it won't be long 
Am                   C
till you turn into a butterfly 
G                             D
I know you're weak and you're hanging on 
Am                          C
cause you're dreaming of an open sky 
Am              C
go and give it another try 
G         D
and I know it won't be long 
Am                   C
till you turn into a butterfly 
G                             D
I know you're weak but you're hanging on 
Am                          Em7
cause you're dreaming of an open sky
