--I Box Up All The Butterflies-- INTRO: E E I find it difficult to E Relax in the summertime E With all the flowers in bloom E I creep across the countryside E With my net and my bait E And a pocket full of veil and twine E I break the promises I made E As I box up all the butterflies C#m I ruin everything F#m As I sit in a field of grass C#m In the spring, listening F#m To the beat of its little heart C#m To its wings, struggling F#m For air under an upturned glass C#m And I put a pin through its wings F#m And I bottle it up F#m I box it up E And bury it in my heart E E Just as I know my friends E I also know my enemies E Are the birds and the bees E And my own little insecurities E I creep around in the dark E And I tear up all the dandelions E And I break my own heart E As I box up all the butterflies C#m Tirelessly following F#m Its tiny butterfly tracks C#m Across the field, in the spring F#m With a plastic carrier bag C#m Full of fish, hooks and string F#m I lay a little matchbox trap C#m And I put pins through its wings F#m And I bottle it up F#m I box it up E And bury it in my heart E E Amaj7 I folded up its furry wings Amaj7 And opened up its little heart E It might sound stupid but something about it made me wanna pull it apart E C#m I ruin everything F#m As I sit in a field of grass C#m In the spring, listening F#m To the beat of its little heart C#m To its wings, struggling F#m For air under an upturned glass C#m And I put a pin through its wings F#m And I bottle it up F#m I box it up E And bury it in my heart E
