Verse 1:
G Em C
Yesterday I went outside
D? G
With my Mother's Mason jar
Em C *
Caught a lovely butterfly
G Em C
When I woke up today
D? G
Looked in on my fairy pet
Em C *
She had withered all away
D7
No more sighing in her breast
G
I'm sorry for what I did
Em C
I did what my body told me to
D G
I didn't mean to do you harm
G7 C D
Every time I pin down what I think I want
G
It slips away
Em C5
And oh it slips away
Verse 2:
Smell you on my hands for days
Couldn't wash away the scent
If I'm a dog then you're a bitch
I guess you're as real as me
Maybe I can live with that
To excite my fantasy
Life of chasing butterfly
Chorus
Verse 3:
G Em C
I told you that I'd return
D? G
When the robin builds his nest
Em C *
But I ain't never comin' back
End part:
G
I'm sorry
Em
I'm sorry
C5 G
I'm sorry.
