D                                 A 
Like cotton candy clouds that sail the day  
        D                    A 
Flowin' free ... and she pos-sesses  
  D                                A            D 
A mind that can't resign itself to stay ... for long, with me  
     E                                     D 
So I tried and tried, to keep her tied and satisfied  
                 A                  D 
Until she really needs me ... yes I do  
    A                                   E 
But when that certain look comes on her face  
           D                       A 
I can't re-place it and she leaves me.  
  
I know she needs me  
 
About as much as I need someone else  
 
Which I don't ... and if need be  
 
I swear someday I'll up and leave myself ... which I won't  
 
Even If she loved another man, I'd understand it more than I do  
 
Umh, umh, umh - but I know the only reason  
 
That she ever had for leavin', is she wants to.  
  
CHORUS  
        E                          D 
She's a butterfly in mid July, who just can't wait to try  
              A                   D 
Her brand new wings, on brand new things  
        A                 D                A 
And she needs no rhyme or reason, when she goes  
    E                                D 
Her mind is on what lies beyond that wall of Blue horizon  
      A                   D 
I sup-pose ... and heaven knows  
          A              E                 A 
She'll go sailin' off on any old wind that blows.  
        D             A 
Yes she will, yes she will  
                         E                 A 
She'll go sailin' off on any old wind that blows.
