John Michael Howell - Butterfly

[Verse 1]
D
You’ve been through many stages of your
A/C#
Life
Bm G
First the ground now a cocoon up high
D A/C#
And as the days have gone by
Bm
And time started to fly,
G
You felt dead, but I promise
A D
Your time has just arrived

[Pre-Chorus]
G
Spread your hopes
A
Don’t let them die
Bm A
There’s more to you than meets the eye

[Chorus]
D
It’s ok butterfly you don’t have to feel the
Bm
Night

Spread your wings hold them high
G
You may fall but you won’t die
A
When the voices from the ground
G
Say you’re too high come back down

A
Tell them I don’t know ‘bout you
D
But I was born to fly

[Instrumental]
Bm G D
To fly ……

[Verse 2]
A/C#
It’s not been easy knowing you will fly
Bm G
When all that you can do is crawl and hide
D A/C#
But it’s ok your season on the ground
Bm
oh oh oh oh oh oh
G
It’s hard to become stronger now

[Pre-Chorus]
G
Spread your hopes
A
Don’t let them die
Bm A
There’s more to you than meets the eye

[Chorus]
D
It’s ok butterfly you don’t have to feel the
Bm
Night

Spread your wings hold them high
G
You may fall but you won’t die

A
When the voices from the ground
G
Say you’re too High come back down
A
Tell them I don’t know ‘bout you
D
But I was born to fly

[Instrumental]
E D/F# G
-e-e-e-e oh oh oh
D E D/F#
I was born to fly ee-ee-ee-ee
G D/F# A
haaaa oh haaaa

[Chorus/Tag]
D A/C#
It’s ok butterfly you don’t have to run and
Bm
hide

Spread your wings hold high
G
You once scrawled but now you fly
A
When the voices from the ground
G
Now are started to fade out
A
As you soar across the sky
D
‘cause you were born to fly
