Intro FF Fmaj7Fmaj7  FF  Fmaj7Fmaj7 FF Fmaj7Fmaj7

Verse 1

FF       Fmaj7Fmaj7  G minorGm    C majorC
You might wake up some morning.
    G minorGm        C majorC
To the sound of something moving
      FF      Fmaj7Fmaj7
past your window in the wind.
FF       G minorGm       C majorC
And if you're quick enough to rise
         G minorGm
you'll catch the fleeting glimpse
  C majorC        FF   Fmaj7Fmaj7
of someone's fading shadow.

Verse 2

FF     Fmaj7Fmaj7 G minorGm   C majorC     G minorGm
Out on the new  horizon, you may see
       C majorC
the floating motions of a
FF        Fmaj7Fmaj7 FF
distant pair of wings.
      G minorGm          C majorC
And if the sleep has left your ears
        G minorGm
you might hear footsteps running
C majorC        FF   Fmaj7Fmaj7 FF
through an open meadow.

Chorus 1

Fmaj7Fmaj7  G minorGm    C majorC
Don't be concerned,
      FF    Fmaj7Fmaj7
it will not harm you.
     G minorGm      C majorC
It's only me pursuing something
  FF      Fmaj7Fmaj7
I'm not sure of.
     G minorGm   C majorC        FF   Fmaj7Fmaj7
Across my dreams,  with nets of wonder.
    G minorGm
I chase the bright elusive
 C majorC       FF Fmaj7Fmaj7 FF Fmaj7Fmaj7 FF Fmaj7Fmaj7
butterfly of love.

Verse 3

FF       Fmaj7Fmaj7  G minorGm    C majorC
You might have heard my footsteps.
   G minorGm       C majorC
Echo softly in the distance through
  FF        Fmaj7Fmaj7 FF
the canyons of your mind.
       G minorGm        C majorC
I might have even called your name
     G minorGm       C majorC
as I ran searching after something
  FF     Fmaj7Fmaj7
to believe in.

Verse 4

FF       Fmaj7Fmaj7  G minorGm   C majorC
You might have seen me running.
      G minorGm       C majorC
Through the long abandoned ruins of
  FF         Fmaj7Fmaj7 FF
the dreams you left behind.
    G minorGm         C majorC
If you remember something there
      G minorGm
that glided past you followed
C majorC        FF    Fmaj7Fmaj7 FF Fmaj7Fmaj7
close by heavy breathing.

Chorus 2

     G minorGm    C majorC
Don't be concerned,
      FF    Fmaj7Fmaj7
it will not harm you.
     G minorGm      C majorC
It's only me pursuing something
     FF   Fmaj7Fmaj7
I'm not sure of.
     G minorGm   C majorC       FF   Fmaj7Fmaj7
Across my dreams, with nets of wonder.
      G minorGm
I chase the bright elusive
C majorC       FF   Fmaj7Fmaj7 FF Fmaj7Fmaj7
butterfly of loveeee.
