--I Box Up All The Butterflies--
INTRO:
E, Amaj7, D, A, E
[E]I find it difficult to
[D]Relax [A]in the [E]summertime
[E]With all the flowers in bloom
I [D]creep ac[A]ross the [E]countryside
[E]With my net and my bait
And a [D]pocket [A]full of [E]veil and twine
[E]I break the promises I made
As I [D]box up [A]all the [E]butterflies
I r[C#m]uin everything
As I [F#m]sit in a field of grass
In the [C#m]spring, listening
To the [F#m]beat of its little heart
To its [C#m]wings, struggling
For [F#m]air under an upturned glass
And I put a [C#m]pin through its wings
F#m* F#m
And I bottle it up
F#m* F#m
I box it up
F#m* F#m E
And bury it in my heart
E, Amaj7, D, A, E
[E]Just as I know my friends
I [D]also [A]know my [E]enemies
[E]Are the birds and the bees
And my [D]own little [A]insec[E]urities
[E]I creep around in the dark
And I [D]tear up [A]all the [E]dandelions
[E]And I break my own heart
As I [D]box up [A]all the [E]butterflies
Tireless[C#m]ly following
Its [F#m]tiny butterfly tracks
Across the [C#m]field, in the spring
With a [F#m]plastic carrier bag
Full of [C#m]fish, hooks and string
I [F#m]lay a little matchbox trap
And I put [C#m]pins through its wings
F#m* F#m
And I bottle it up
F#m* F#m
I box it up
F#m* F#m E
And bury it in my heart
E, Amaj7, D, A, E
E, A, E, E, A, A, E, E
I [A]folded up its furry [Amaj7]wings
And [A]opened up its little [Amaj7]heart
A F#m* F#m D A E
It might sound stupid but something about it made me wanna pull it apart
E, Amaj7, D, A, E, E, E, E
I r[C#m]uin everything
As I [F#m]sit in a field of grass
In the [C#m]spring, listening
To the [F#m]beat of its little heart
To its [C#m]wings, struggling
For [F#m]air under an upturned glass
And I put a [C#m]pin through its wings
F#m* F#m
And I bottle it up
F#m* F#m
I box it up
F#m* F#m E
And bury it in my heart
E, Amaj7, D, A, E
