Intro: D5 ( D5 ) D5  |  G5 ( G5 ) G5 X2
VERSE1
D5                 G5
Swallow purple terror candy
D5                    G5     
Don't forget to breathe
D5                G5
Sickened by the wanting
D5                               G5
And drowning from the need
E5                   G5
This dichromatic vision
D5                            G5
Of one who does not care
E5                       G5
To sipping cocktail sedatives
D5                            G5
Two months to hide somewhere

CHORUS
D5    G5   D5         G5
Butterflies, Butterflies
D5                 G5                     D5         G5
Cut the stomach out and hand it over
E5       G5   D5           G5
Butterflies, Butterflies
E5                   G5                   D5     G5 
My heart will be the bridge that you walk over


VERSE2(Mesma coisa do vesro 1)
The wolf has caught the chicken
And now I feel unsteady
Emotions on the blink again
So kick me when you're ready
Here lies a violet coffin
The death of my control
Along with all my skeletons
They put them in the hole

VERSE3
Sickened by the notion
I give myself again
Choking on the bullet, the gun-
thats found a friend
So raise your glass to sorrow
And drink to all the pain
Tie a silver ribbon around
The pieces that remain 

CHORUS

Butterflies, Butterflies
Cut the stomach out and hand it over
Butterflies, Butterflies
My heart will be the bridge that you walk over
