Intro: Am C F Em

Verse 1:
      Am         F   C            G
I had nothing to say on Christmas Day
         Am             F              C     Em
When you threw all your clothes in the snow
         Am         F        C            G
When you burnt your hair and knocked over chairs
       Am            F           C    Em
I just tried to stay out of your way

Bridge:
             Am
But when you fell asleep
     F                C
With blood on your teeth
       Am        F             G
I just got in my car and drove away

Chorus:
          C         F
Listen to me, Butterfly
                     C
There's only so much wine
             Am           F
That you can drink in one life
                     C
And it will never be enough
            Am       F              C
To save you from the bottom of your glass

Whistling bridge: Am F C G Am F C (x2)

Verse 2:
          Am            F       C           G
Where the state highway starts, I parked my car
      Am          F                Em
And I got out and stared up at the stars
       Am      F         C               G
And as meteors dived and shot across the sky
  Am                 F            C
I thought about your sad, shining eyes

Bridge:
       Am          Em
I came back for my clothes
         F           C
When the sun finally rose
    Am             F                 G
And you were still passed out on the floor

Chorus:
          C         F
Listen to me, Butterfly
                     C
There's only so much wine
             Am           F
That you can drink in one life
                     C
And it will never be enough
            Am       F              C
To save you from the bottom of your glass

Whistling outro: Am F C G Am F C (x2)
