AE
There I was with the old man, stranded again, so off I ran
AEC#7A young world crashing around me; no possibilities of getting what I need
F#mB
He looked at me and smiled,
BBBB7DE
said No, no, no, no, no, no child
AA
See the dog and butterfly, Up in the air he like to fly
GDAA
Dog and butterfly, Below she had to try
F#mC#m
She roll back down to the warm, soft ground,
F#mB
Laughing, She don't know why
DAA
She don't know why, Dog and Butterfly
AE
Well I stumbled upon your secret place, Safe in the trees, you had tears on your face
AEC#7
Wrestling with your desires; frozen stangers stealing your fires
F#mB
The message hit my mind,
BBBB7DE
Only words that I could find
AA
See the dog and butterfly, Up in the air he like to fly
GDAA
Dog and butterfly, Below she had to try
F#mC#m
She roll back down to the warm, soft ground,
F#mB
Laughing, to the sky
DAA
Up to the sky, Dog and Butterfly
C#mF#mDA
We're getting older, The world getting colder
DCGA
For the life of me, I don't know the reason why
C#mEDA
Maybe it's living, making us give in
DCGA
Heart rolling in, taken back on the tide
DCGA
We're balanced together; ocean upon the sky
CE7E7E7AE
Another night in this stange town, Moonlight holding me light as down
AEC#7
Voice of confusion inside of me, begging to go back where I'm free
F#mB
Feels like I'm through,
BBBB7DE
Then the old man's words are true
AA
See the dog and butterfly, Up in the air he like to fly
GDAA
Dog and butterfly, Below she had to try
F#mC#m
She roll back down to the warm, soft ground,
F#mB
With a little tear in her eye
DA
She had to try, She had to try, Dog and Butterfly
Up in the air he like to fly
Dog and butterfly, Below she has to try
She roll back down to the warm, soft ground,
With a little tear in her eye
She had to try, She had to try, Dog and Butterfly
