Verse 1:

G9G9      G+G    Am7b5Am7b5     Am7b5*
Butterflies begin from having been a larva

G9G9      G+G     Am7b5Am7b5   Am7b5*  Eb7Eb7
As a child is born from being in a mother's womb

  C#7C#7   C7C7       F minorFm          G#7G#7  BbM7Bbm7
But how many times have you wished you were some other

C9C9          FF   F7F7
Someone than who you are


Chorus 1:

  Eb MajorEb    D9D9     Gm7Gm7 Gm6Gm6  Fm9Fm9   Fm7Fm7 Cm7/G
Yet who's to say that if all were uncovered,

     D7D7      G*  E minor 7Em7  Am7Am7
You will like what you see.

D9/A      GMaj9Gmaj9  Esus4Esus4 E MajorE Am7*
You can only be you,

D9/A       G9G9 (then play intro once)
as I can only be me.


Verse 2:

G9G9       G+G   Am7b5Am7b5      Am7b5*
Flowers cannot bloom until it is their season

G9G9         G+G   Am7b5Am7b5     Am7b5* Eb7Eb7
As we would not be here unless it was our destiny

  C#7C#7   C7C7       F minorFm       G#7G#7   BbM7Bbm7
But how many times have you wished to be in spaces

C9C9             FF   F7F7
Time, places than what you were


Chorus 2:

  Eb MajorEb    D9D9    G minorGm     Bb7Bb7
Yet who's to say with unfamiliar faces

Cm7Cm7    D7D7    G*  E minor 7Em7 Am7Am7
You could any more be

D9/A         GMaj9Gmaj9  Esus4Esus4 E MajorE Am7*
Loving you that you'd see

D9/A      GMaj9Gmaj9  Esus4Esus4 E MajorE Am7*
You can only be you,

D9/A       G9G9 (then play intro twice)
as I can only be me. Oooh . . .

       G*
I can only be me
