Verse 1:
(Riff 1)
Sun wakes me up
I think I'm losing everything
I wanna go back to bed
(Riff 2)
I feel much better there

G (Riff 2)
You look a lot like the devil
(Riff 2) C G A
Isn't it strange how dreams can seem so real
Verse 2:
I shiver too much
(Riff 2)
I waste too much, I
(Riff 2)
My struggle is my shame I can't let go
I'm lo[C]oking for
G (Riff 2)
my simple sense of mind
I need someone to carry me home [C] [G] [A]
Chorus:
*A *G
(Oh la la la laa oh la la la la la la)
Days - go - by
I st[D]ill wanna know what it's like to be a butte[A]rfly
*A *G
(I've been around the world, seen a lot of faces, know a lot of people,
been to a lot of places)
Days - go - by
D A (Riff 4)
I still wanna know what it's like to be a butterfly
Verse 3:
(Riff 2)
Tamed by fear and numbed by sleep I wake
My routine life is calling me again
An[C]other day
An[G]other thought gone by

I need someone to carry me home
