E minorEm C majorC
I had nothing to say
G+G D MajorD
On Christmas day
E minorEm C majorC G+G D/F#D/F#
When you threw all your clothes in the snow
E minorEm C majorC
When you burned your hair
G+G D MajorD
And you knocked over chairs
E minorEm C majorC G+G
I just tried to stay out of your way
G+G
But when you fell asleep
C majorC G+G
With blood on your teeth
E minorEm C majorC G+G
I just got in my car and drove away
G+G C majorC
Listen to me, butterfly
C majorC G+G
There's only so much wine
E minorEm
That you can drink
C majorC
In one life
C majorC G+G
And it will never be enough
E minorEm
To save you from
C majorC G+G
The bottom of your glass

Verse 2:
(Crescendo)
E minorEm C majorC
When the state highway starts
G+G D MajorD
I stop my car

I get out to stare up at the stars

And as meteors died
G+G D MajorD
And shot across the sky

I just thought about your sad shining eyes

And I went back for my clothes
C majorC G+G
When the sun finally rose
E minorEm C majorC G+G
Oh but you were still passed out on the floor
G+G N.C.
Listen to me butterfly

In one life
C majorC G+G
But it will never be enough
E minorEm
To save you from

The bottom of your glass
