Intro:
(nc)                 F 
It was a perfect day, oh how I've missed this
       C       Dm            F 
Such a perfect day, just two misfits sharing kisses
 
Chorus:
           C                        Dm
And after all this time you give me butterflies, butterflies
F
Months go by, I still get butterflies, butterflies
C          Dm         F
Perfect day, what did I do to deserve this?
 
Verse 1:
C            Dm 
Went back to your house
       F 
And we couldn't help but hold each other
C          Dm 
Tangled at the mouth
       F 
Took a break so I could take a shower
C                          Dm 
Washed the sand out of my hair
         F 
From our perfect day spent at the beach
C                      Dm 
Looked into the foggy mirror
      F 
Saw a message staring back at me
 
Chorus:
          C                         Dm
And after all this time you give me butterflies, butterflies
F
Months go by, I still get butterflies, butterflies
C        Dm           F
Perfect day, what did I do to deserve this?
 
Verse 2:
         C                        Dm 
I saw "I love you" written in the steam
      F 
And I couldn't help but smile at the sweet message you left me
       C                  Dm 
But it wasn't in your handwriting
           F 
Then those happy little letters
 
Were the saddest thing I'd ever seen
 
Bridge:
Am
You need to get your conscience clean
Am
But just spare me the details, please
F                             C        Dm
I wanna keep remembering this perfect day
            Am
I'm not the type to be left speechless
Am
But I don't think I can deal with this
F
That's all the closure that you'll give
     C       Dm
This perfect day
     Am
Justifications failed as apologies
Am
I don't wanna cause a scene
F
Please let me go, I just wanna leave
     C       Dm
This perfect day
(nc)
Oh, how could you miss this?
                    C         Dm
Wish you would have wiped it away
       F
Let me live in blissful ignorance
                     C       Dm
And let me have this perfect day
        F
But you left it all in ruins
              C       Dm
We ended on a perfect day
       F
Really wish I could forget this
 
Chorus:
             C                         Dm
'Cause after all this time you give me butterflies, butterflies
F
Why'd you lie? Don't hurt my butterflies, butterflies
C                             Dm
Watch them die, you killed my butterflies, butterflies
F                              (nc)
Butterflies ruined my perfect day
