[Bb]
I'm gonna have to do that.
I'm gonna have to do that.
I need not a big white butterfly.
The night's not the way to watch the sky.
[Eb] But my eyes are locked on darkness.
For myself I'm really [Bb] nothing.
And I realize my butterfly
Wasn't [F] really up there [Eb] with me.
So make mistakes, forgive [Bb] me.
Would you like to ride a butterfly
Running on a lonely flame?
That ain't easy, sorry, once again.
[Eb] Let me slip and dip in the rain.
I'll come up and make this [Bb] rain.
And I realize my faith in flames
[F] Wasn't really up there [Eb] with me.
[Bb] So make mistakes, forgive me.
Would you like to ride a butterfly?
[F]
[Bb]
[Eb] Flying [Bb]
[F] [Eb] [Db]
[Bb] [F]
[Bb] in a three-run torture car.
And a bee is often very far.
[Eb] Oh, it's never such a long way.
Makes them have to feel the [Bb] wrong way.
And I realize my torture car
[F] Don't need that to get me [Eb] somewhere.
Even though I [E] really [Bb] do care.
Would you like to ride my torture car?
[F] [Bb]
[Eb]
