Start Jamming...
So you finally got [F#] what you wanted, you've achieved your aim by making it all look [Em] in vain.
And when you just can't get [F#] any higher, you use your senses to suss out the sweet [Em] climber.
And the small fame that [B] you've acquired has brought [A] you into [B] cult status, but to me you're
just all a [Em] collector.
[G] Hearts [A] and horns, but [E] you're much more, you're [G] a different [A]
kind, [C] cause you up their [G] minds,
and you just [A] don't care [C] cause you've got no [E] pride, [G] it's just [A] a face [C] on a [G] pillowcase [C] that fools you.
[E] [Em]
And you started looking [B] much older, [A] and your fashion [Bm] sense [A] is second [Bm] rate, like your [Em] perfect
[E] But to you in your own [B] little dream world, [Am] you're still the [Bm] queen of [Am] the [Bm] butterfly [E] collectors.
[Em]
As you carry [A]
on, that's all [G] you'll know.
You don't know how to [A] take flight, [C] you've
never thought [E] so.
You get [G] from day [A] to day, [C] bad feeling [G] in your
head, but you surely [A] must know you've [C] built a dream [G] your own age, [F] as you're grown up.
[E]
And I don't care [B] about morals, [A] cause the world's [Bm] insane, and we're all to blame anyway.
[Em]
[E] And I don't feel [B] any sorrow, [A] towards the kings and [B] queens of [A] the [B] butterfly [E] collectors.
[Em] [G] It's gods [A] and horses, [C] but you're not [E] sure, you're [G] a different [A]
kind, cause [C] you've got
their [G] minds.
And you just [A] don't care, [C] cause you've got no [G] pride.
It's just [A] their face
[C] and a pillar [G] of grace, [F] that wills you.
[D] [G] You [A] carry [C] on, that's all [G] you'll know.
You
don't know how [A] to take flight, [C] you've never thought [G] so.
You get from day [A] to day, bad [G] feeling
in your head, but you surely [A] must know you've built a [G] dream your own age, [F] as you're grown
up.
[E] [Em]
And I don't feel any [F#m] sorrow, [E] towards the kings and queens [Em] of the butterfly collectors.
