Verse 1:

G9            G        Am7b5         Am7b5*
Butterflies begin from having been a larva

G9            G         Am7b5      Am7b5*   Eb7
As a child is born from being in a mother's womb

    C#7      C7             Fm                   G#7    Bbm7
But how many times have you wished you were some other

C9                   F     F7
Someone than who you are


Chorus 1:

    Eb       D9          Gm7 Gm6    Fm9      Fm7  Cm7/G
Yet who's to say that if all were uncovered,

         D7            G*    Em7   Am7
You will like what you see.

D9/A            Gmaj9   Esus4  E  Am7*
You can only be you,

D9/A             G9 (then play intro once)
as I can only be me.


Verse 2:

G9              G      Am7b5           Am7b5*
Flowers cannot bloom until it is their season

G9                 G      Am7b5         Am7b5* Eb7
As we would not be here unless it was our destiny

    C#7      C7             Fm              G#7     Bbm7
But how many times have you wished to be in spaces

C9                         F      F7
Time, places than what you were


Chorus 2:

    Eb       D9       Gm         Bb7
Yet who's to say with unfamiliar faces

Cm7       D7       G*    Em7  Am7
You could any more be

D9/A                  Gmaj9   Esus4  E  Am7*
Loving you that you'd see

D9/A            Gmaj9   Esus4  E  Am7*
You can only be you,

D9/A             G9 (then play intro twice)
as I can only be me. Oooh . . .

              G*
I can only be me
