 Dsus2Dsus2              E/G#      Amaj7/C#
When you love someone so deeply they become your life
   Dsus2Dsus2          E/G#      Amaj7/C#
It's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside
 Dsus2Dsus2          E/G#       F#m7F#m7
Blindly I imagined I could keep you under glass
   G+G               D MajorD      Dsus2Dsus2
Now I understand to hold you I must open up my hands
        A augmentedA
And watch you rise

  A augmentedA                Asus2Asus2 E/G#
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
   F#m7F#m7
For you have become a butterfly
 Fmaj7Fmaj7    G+G      A augmentedA
Fly abandonedly into the sun
             Asus2Asus2 E/G# F#m7F#m7
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
   Fmaj7Fmaj7        G+G
So spread your wings and fly
 D MajorD   A augmentedA
Butterfly

Dsus2Dsus2                E/G#      Amaj7/C#
I have learned that beauty has to flourish in the light
 Dsus2Dsus2          E/G#       Amaj7/C#
Wild horses run unbridled or their spirit dies
 Dsus2Dsus2             E/G#       F#m7F#m7
You have given me the courage to be all that I can
    G+G                 D MajorD
And I truly feel your heart will lead you back to me
   Dsus2Dsus2      A augmentedA
When you're ready to land

  A augmentedA                Asus2Asus2 E/G#
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
   F#m7F#m7
For you have become a butterfly
 Fmaj7Fmaj7    G+G      A augmentedA
Fly abandonedly into the sun
             Asus2Asus2 E/G# F#m7F#m7
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
   Fmaj7Fmaj7        G+G
So spread your wings and fly
 D MajorD   A augmentedA
Butterfly

  C#7C#7                  F# minorF#m
I can't pretend these tears aren't over flowing steadily
  C#7C#7                F# minorF#m
I can't prevent this hurt from almost overtaking me
F/GF/G G+G    C/GC/G       Am7Am7   Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
But I will stand and say goodbye for you'll never be mine
  E7sus4E7sus4              A augmentedA
Until you know the way it feels to fly

  A augmentedA                Asus2Asus2 E/G#
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
   F#m7F#m7
For you have become a butterfly
 Fmaj7Fmaj7    G+G      A augmentedA
Fly abandonedly into the sun
             Asus2Asus2 E/G# F#m7F#m7
If you should return to me
