Verse 1:
G+G                  E minorEm
They don't even see me Everything I could be
    C majorC
Burning right beneath my chest
G+G
It doesn't mean that I'm weak
        E minorEm            C majorC
I just need to set free The voices in my head
       D MajorD
They tell me, I'll never be anything,anything
G+G                  E minorEm
I feel so unsteady, people stepping on me
      C majorC
Crushed in colors on the ground
G+G
Fighting back the tears
           E minorEm
from hearing “no” for years
      C majorC
Released my fears and get shut down
   D MajorD
They tell me, I can't make a sound.

Chorus:
G+G                 E minorEm
But I will sing with this unused voice
               C majorC
I will laugh like I have no choice,
             D MajorD
I will fly and forget to fall.
G+G              E minorEm
I will spread my un-opened wings
                C majorC
I will strum every dead heart string
           D MajorD
I will rise above it all.
    C majorC                 G+G
'Cause that's how butterflies get to be strong
    C majorC
'Cause that’s how butterflies get to be.

Verse 2:
G+G
Somedays I will just breathe,
       E minorEm
Butterflies inside me,
     C majorC
fighting through my stomach
G+G
I'm broken on the surface,
        E minorEm
People say I'm worthless,
             C majorC
But I will learn to love it.
       D MajorD         G+G
They tell me, I'll never be anything

Chorus:
G+G                 E minorEm
But I will sing with this unused voice
               C majorC
I will laugh like I have no choice,
             D MajorD
I will fly and forget to fall.
G+G              E minorEm
I will spread my un-opened wings
                C majorC
I will strum every dead heart string
           D MajorD
I will rise above it all.
    C majorC                 G+G
'Cause that's how butterflies get to be strong
           G+G
Still working on my wings
           C majorC
Still working on my wings
           G+G
Still working on my wings
           D MajorD
Still working on my wings
           D MajorD
Still working on my wings
           G+G
Still working on my wings
           C majorC
Still working on my wings
           G+G
Still working on my wings
           D MajorD
Still working on my wings
           D MajorD
Still working on my wings
