verse 1 
    G 
The birds and the bees singing in trees 
               D 
Making me feel like I’m a butterfly, flying so very high 
Am                                           D 
Holding my breath as I’m looking down at the world 
    G 
And the ocean blue waves at you 
                   D  
Hoping that you’re holding a lover’s hand, writing your names in sand 
Am                                             D 
Building a castle where you can live with your girl 


        Am 
Because I can see 
     D 
That I may be 
G          E           Am 
Falling so swiftly for you 
   Am                  D                       G 
So if I’m a butterfly, will you be a butterfly too? 


verse 2 
    G 
And I can’t believe, among the trees 
          D 
There’s a place that’s invisible, maybe even liveable 
Am                                         D 
Would it be forgivable if I said we should go? 
G 
This candyfloss rain tastes like champagne 
                   D 
And I’ve heard the sunsets are beautiful, oh so very colourful 
    Am                                          D 
And when the moon is full, there is a fireworks show 

 
        Am 
And now I can see 
     D 
That I may be 
G          E           Am 
Falling so swiftly for you 
   Am                  D                       G 
So if I’m a butterfly, will you be a butterfly too? 

Outro 

    Am 
And suddenly it’s very clear 
    D                            G 
I’m madly deeply so in love with you.
