          D D9/A G E G A7
Here we go

 D Dsus D : x2


Verse 1:
D             D9/A
If I use this silver pound
G                  E
To buy a drink and fool around
     G    A7           | D Dsus D |x2
I am only drowning butterflies
D                         D9/A
I said I'd see you at the factory gate
G               E
I was there but you were late
          G
You said "Sorry"
       A7             D
But it wasn't in your eyes
D                       D9/A
I've got four figures redundancy pay
         G                E
And just two weeks to our wedding day
        G
I won't blame you
    A7               D
Whatever you want to do

Chorus:
G                   A#                D
When they knock the terraced houses down
G                A#             F     A7 D
There will be no butterflies to drown


Verse 2:
D                   D9/A
Things are changing all around
G                   E
All my friends have gone to ground
        G
And I'm trying
   A7                 | D Dsus D |x2
At least to hold on to you
D                          D9/A
You know this used to be a cool town
           G                E
Now they're closing all the factories down
       G             A7               | D Dsus D |x2
And no wonder, we're all drowning butterflies


Chorus:
G                   A#                D
When they knock the terraced houses down
G                A#             F     A7 D
There will be no butterflies to drown

There will be no butterflies to drown
