Intro:

Em C G D6/9

Verse 1:
Em                     C
In the valley stands a tree
                   G
Lightning split in half
                       D6/9
At the top a few green leaves
                       Em
Like a memory from the past
                      C
On the river floats a boat
                        G
Without a captain nor a crew
                D6/9
The rope didn’t hold
                C
The knot didn’t do
B7                      Em
Oh to sing a little bit longer

Verse 2:
Em                    C
At the table stands a chair
                 G
No one ever sits in
                    D6/9
A shirt that no one wears
                     Em
And a tear under her chin
                  C
A painting on the wall
           G
Covered in dust
                      D6/9
Of a time they don’t recall
                      C
Of a time that didn’t last
      B7              Em
Oh to be a little bit stronger

Chorus:
C
Don’t kill the butterfly
C
Don’t kill the butterfly
     Em
Stay here
C
Don’t let me live this life
C
Don’t let me live this life
   Em
In fear
             D6/9                Em
Cause I might never take it back

Verse 3:
                      C
There’s a book on the floor
                      G
In the room of broken things
                       D6/9
It knows it’s words no more
                        Em
But it knows it used to sing
            C
Scars on my knees
                G
From when I was small
                         D6/9
They are there for me to see
                    C
But the day I don’t recall
      B7                Em
Oh to feel a little bit younger

Chorus:
C
Don’t kill the butterfly
C
Don’t kill the butterfly
     Em
Stay here
C
Don’t let me live this life
C
Don’t let me live this life
   Em
In fear
      C                          Em
Cause all we are is now until we disappear
C
Don’t kill the butterfly
C
Don’t kill the butterfly
     Em
Stay here
           D6/9
Cause you might

Bridge:
   Em    C
My dear
      G   D6/9
We’re here
   Em    C
My dear
      G   D6/9
We’re here

Chorus:
C
Don’t kill the butterfly
C
Don’t kill the butterfly
     Em
Stay here
C
Don’t let me live this life
C
Don’t let me live this life
   Em
In fear
      C                          Em
Cause all we are is now until we disappear
C
Don’t kill the butterfly
C
Don’t kill the butterfly
     Em
Stay here
           D6/9
Cause you might
