Hi there! I'm loving this song (big surprise!)
***THIS IS EASY TO PLAY!!! I had some questions
about some chords I was unsure of and UG user
P_Trik helped out with actual names (who knew the
Am/F chord does not exist??)

Here's a link to the song, play along-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsKE-wbmSwI

**The chords look scary but the shapes are easy:)

EADGBe
D9/F# [200210]
Gsus [3x0010] or [xx0010]- which could be another chord all together :/
Fmaj7/A [x03210] - mistakenly known as an Am/F, which I've learned does not
exist. (Read comments below, Thanks P_Trik)

(I've got it tabbed too, check it out.)




STANDARD TUNING
NO CAPO


Intro-
Am Gsus D9/F# Fmaj7/A



Am
You're a pretty butterfly and
Gsus
You keep on passing by
D9/F#
You never land inside my hands
Fmaj7/A
Your home is in the sky
Am
And there's a lesson waiting to be learned
Gsus
The fire starters always get the best
D9/F#
And the good guys never get the girl
Fmaj7/A
And shooting stars cannot fix the world


F
And I've made the same mistakes
C G Fmaj7/A
But I won't this time
C G Fmaj7/A
No I won't this time



Am Gsus D9/F# Fmaj7/A



Am
And you're a pretty butterfly
Gsus
And I believed all your lies
D9/F#
Blinded by your sideways smile
Fmaj7/A
And kindness in your eyes
Am
But there's a limit to your flight
Gsus
I can offer you a better life
D9/F#
But you keep on flying from the light
Fmaj7/A
And I've lost my faith in wrong and right


F
And I've made the same mistakes
C G Fmaj7/A
But I won't this time
C G Fmaj7/A Gsus Fmaj7/A Gsus
No I won't this time



C
I know exactly what you'll do
Am
I made damn sure I studied you
Fmaj7/A
You won't pick me I am just a breeze
G
Underneath your wings
C
So I pray each night you'll change your mind
Am
And maybe I am worth the fight
Fmaj7/A
But I am wrong every time
G C Am Fmaj7/A G
You only know how to fly


C Am
You only know how to fly, whoa oh
Fmaj7/A -once (G* C* -you can play these chords if you want but
You only, know how to, fly really there are no chords here.)



Have fun and RATE :)
