[G] [D]
[G]
Silver [F#m]
[D] and gold and [Bm] it's growing cold [G] Autumn leaves lay [F#m] as thick as these
[D] Shivers down your spine, [Bm] chill you to the bone
Cause [G] the meandering wind is the [F#m] melody that turns your heart to stone
[D] The heat of your breath, [Bm] guarding shadows underneath
It's [G] every angel has a wish, [F#m] she's never been kissed
[D] A broken dream,
[G] haunting in your sleep, hiding in your smile
[F#m] A secret you must keep, [G] love can't you be
[Bm] Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on [A] a wheel
Love [G] breaks the wings of a butterfly on [F#m] a wheel
There's [D] no scarlet in you,
[G] [Bm] lay that down for me
[G] This shoe has got made one, you [F#m] can wrap your arms around a memory
[D] Take one from me, [Bm] cold autumn winds cut sharp as [G] a knife and in the dark for me
[F#m] You're the candle [D] flame that [G]
flickers to [Bm] life, love breaks the wings of a butterfly on [F#m] a wheel
Love [G] breaks the wings of a butterfly on [F#m] a wheel
Love [Bm] will break the wings of a butterfly on [A] a wheel
[G] Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on [F#m] a wheel
[D]

[G]
[F#m]
[D] Wise men say, always bear in [Bm] mind the war
[G] And there's no right or [D] wrong in the design [G] of [D] love
And I could only watch as the wind crushed your wings, broken and torn
[Bm] Crushed like the flower under the [G] snow and like the flower in spring
[F#m] Love will rise again [G] to heal your wings, [Bm] love heals the wings of a butterfly [A] on a wheel
Love [G] will heal the wings of a butterfly on [F#m] a wheel
[Bm] Love heals the wings of a butterfly on [A] a wheel
