Dia & Ian Yellow Butterfly the Yellow Butterfly Project tabbed by Jordan Sanvicente Standard Tuning
Am She was just five years olFd. A slightly moody daCy. She couldn't stay awGay, from that rivers edge and IAm. F I turn my back to count. C All the daffodil seas that surrounded. G I close my eyes, and then heard the water wake up.
F G Am And I, I can still hear that scream, It's still lingering, in the air, everywhere. G F "Mother, please save me, grab my hand" (I can't I can't) G Am I can still see that face, sink beneath the waves.
Baby please, breath for me, give me time I am hGere.
Where did you gFo? G Where'd you go? F Where'd you go? G Hey, where'd you go?
C Were the angels that lonely? Am Couldn't they suffice for anybody else? FCan't everybody just lie to me. GShe's home, she's home. Crying for me now. C Am F Every night on a Monday, I will visit the same spot that I hate. G C Yes the place that baby loved, and now she can taste it, it took her away.
Am F It's been five years since then. C And when it hits September. G I'll feel like I'm dying again. Am Ian still won't even talk to me, talk to me! F Isn't this pain, guilt enough? C G I can't even look out the window, without seeing reflections distorted in the sun. F G Am And I, I can still hear that scream, It's still lingering, in the air, everywhere. G F "Mother, please save me, grab my hand" (I can't I can't) G Am I can still see that face, sink beneath the waves.
Baby please, breath for me, give me time I am hGere.
Where did you gFo? G Where'd you go? F Where'd you go? G Hey, where'd you go?

C Am F Every night on a Monday, I will visit the same spot that I hate. G C Yes the place that baby loved, and now she can taste it, it took her away.
Am F And the pain hits me like gunshot. C G Oh and I'm heading on the way to the floor, I hear her name and it kills me. Am Oh, bottles up, bottles up, bottles up. F And I'm trying my best to hurt me. C Ian says it's never enough. G Am F G A razor to the wrist for each unshed tear, cough it up, drink it up, drink it up.

Am F C So I had a coma, when I crashed my car in the lake. G Am I saw your face down there I knew, it was not a mistake. F C So I went to the doctor. I told him, oh my heart will break, G If I couldn't see you. He just, gave me more pills.
Am But, I saw you up there. F Still floating by the river. C God, you always loved that river. G I bet your heaven looks just like it.
Am F C Then I'll like it too, even though it scares me now. G But when I'm with you. Am F C I'll be just fine, I'll be just fine. G Am F C We can sit, we can talk about, talk about...Butterflies. Butterflies. G Butterflies.
