[Bb]
I'm ready to know the big white butterfly.
In my head I'm waiting for the sky.
[Eb] When my head is full of fun, I'm happy for myself, I'm feeling [Bb] high.
Then I realize my butterfly [F] wasn't really up there [Eb] with me.
So make mistakes, forgive [Bb] me.
Well, I feel like I'm flying.
And I'm ready, not a long to play the plane.
And if you think I'm in once again,
[Eb] Let me say this, girl, baby, I'm a butterfly that's made this [Bb] way.
Then I realize my butterfly wasn't [F] really up there [Eb] with me.
So make mistakes, forgive [Bb] me.
Well, I feel like I'm flying.

Flying [F] [Bb] in a three-doted torture car.
Made of the years of my very life.
[Eb] Always in my search and my way.
I can never so feel the [Bb] love when I realize my torture car.
[F] Nothing there to get me [Eb] somewhere.
Even [E] so, I really [Bb] do care.
[F] [Bb]
