--I Box Up All The Butterflies--
INTRO:
E MajorE
E MajorE
I find it difficult to
E MajorE
Relax in the summertime
E MajorE
With all the flowers in bloom
E MajorE
I creep across the countryside
E MajorE
With my net and my bait
E MajorE
And a pocket full of veil and twine
E MajorE
I break the promises I made
E MajorE
As I box up all the butterflies
C# minorC#m
I ruin everything
F# minorF#m
As I sit in a field of grass
C# minorC#m
In the spring, listening
F# minorF#m
To the beat of its little heart
C# minorC#m
To its wings, struggling
F# minorF#m
For air under an upturned glass
C# minorC#m
And I put a pin through its wings
F# minorF#m
And I bottle it up
F# minorF#m
I box it up
E MajorE
And bury it in my heart
E MajorE
E MajorE
Just as I know my friends
E MajorE
I also know my enemies
E MajorE
Are the birds and the bees
E MajorE
And my own little insecurities
E MajorE
I creep around in the dark
E MajorE
And I tear up all the dandelions
E MajorE
And I break my own heart
E MajorE
As I box up all the butterflies
C# minorC#m
Tirelessly following
F# minorF#m
Its tiny butterfly tracks
C# minorC#m
Across the field, in the spring
F# minorF#m
With a plastic carrier bag
C# minorC#m
Full of fish, hooks and string
F# minorF#m
I lay a little matchbox trap
C# minorC#m
And I put pins through its wings
F# minorF#m
And I bottle it up
F# minorF#m
I box it up
E MajorE
And bury it in my heart
E MajorE
E MajorE
Amaj7Amaj7
I folded up its furry wings
Amaj7Amaj7
And opened up its little heart
E MajorE
It might sound stupid but something about it made me wanna pull it apart
E MajorE
C# minorC#m
I ruin everything
F# minorF#m
As I sit in a field of grass
C# minorC#m
In the spring, listening
F# minorF#m
To the beat of its little heart
C# minorC#m
To its wings, struggling
F# minorF#m
For air under an upturned glass
C# minorC#m
And I put a pin through its wings
F# minorF#m
And I bottle it up
F# minorF#m
I box it up
E MajorE
And bury it in my heart
E MajorE
