[A] [E]
[F#m] [F]
[G] [D]
[A]
[Dm] When you [A] love someone [Dm] so deeply [C#m] they become your [A] life
It's easy [Dm] to [E] succumb to our [C#] [A] insults
Blindly I imagine
[E] I could keep you [F#m] under glass
Now [G] I understand to hold you I [D] must open up my hands and [A] walk you away
Spread your wings and prepare to [E] fly [F#m] If you will be a cone of butterfly
[Am] Oh, I'll [C] fly above [Em] the [G] living to [A] the sun
If you show return to [C#m] me
[F#m] We truly were meant to be
So [F] I'll spread [C] your wings and [G] fly [D] But [A] fly
I [Dm] have learned that beauty [A] has [C#m] to flourish [A] in the light
While horses run on brine
[C#m] All that's [A] fairy
[Dm] You [E] have given
[F#m] Rich to be all that
And [G] I truly
[D]
Back to me when you're ready to [A] ride
Spread your wings and prepare to [E] fly
[F#m] You have become a butterfly
Oh, [F] I'll fly above [G] the living to the [A] sun
If you show return to [E]
[F#m] me
We truly were meant to be
[Am] So I'll spread your wings and [G] [D] fly But [A] fly
I
[G#m] won't pretend [C#] this here I'm never [F#m] grown
I [G#m] [C#] can't prevent this hurt from
[F#m] unprotected me
[F] Oh, I [G]
will [C] stand [G] back [Am] over
[A#] But you'll never be mine
[D] Until you know the [Bm] way
[A]
Spread your wings and prepare to [E] fly
[F#m] You have become a butterfly
[D] Oh, I'll [F] fly above the [Em] living [B] to the [A] sun
If you show return to [E] me
[F#m] We truly were meant to be
[Am] So I'll spread your wings [G] and fly
[A] [E]
[F#m] But fly
You have become a butterfly
Oh, [F] I'll fly above the [G] living to the [A] sun
If you show return to [E] me
[F#m] We truly were meant to be
So [F]
I'll spread [Am] your wings and [G] fly [D] But [A] fly
[F] So I'll fly above the [G] sky
[D]

[A] Spread [E] [F#m]
