Butterfly Lyrics
by Weezer
I noticed that the other chords posted for this song all started on 'G' which is slid up
Here's is how it is played on the cd.
I know the riffs aren't 100% correct but it will work pretty well.
Riff 1:
RIFF 2:
RIFF 3:
Verse 1:
Yesterday I went outside
With my momma's mason jar
Ebm B RIFF 1 (Or play C#)
Caught a lovely Butterfly
When I woke up today
Looked in on my fairy pet
Ebm B RIFF 2(then back to B for a moment before going to C)
She had withered all away
No more sighing in her breast
Chorus:
I'm sorry for what I did
I did what my body told me to
I didn't mean to do you harm
F#7 B RIFF 3 C#
Everytime I pin down what I think I want
It slips away - the ghost slips aw- aaay
Verse 2 (same chords as verse 1):
I smell you on my hand for days
I can't wash away your scent
If I'm a dog then you're a b**ch
I guess you're as real as me
Maybe I can live with that
Maybe I need fantasies
A life of chasing butterfly
Chorus:
I'm sorry for what I did
I did what my body told me to
I didn't mean to do you harm
Everytime I pin down what I think I want
It slips away - the ghost slips aw-aaay
(Stay on B)
Verse 3 (pretty much the same but slower):
I told you I would return
When the robin makes his nest
Ebm B RIFF 1 (Or play C#)
But I ain't never coming back
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
