Verse 1:
D5                          B5
 Silver and gold, and it's growing cold 
G5                    F#5
Autumn leaves lay as thick as thieves
D5                         B5
 Shivers down your spine, chill you to the bone,
          G5                    F#5
cause the mandling wind is the melody that turns your heart to stone
     D5                          B5
 The heat of your breath carvin shadows in the mist 
      G5                         F#5
Every angel has the wish, she's never been kissed
   D5             B5
 A broken dream , haunting in your sleep
G5                       F#5
Hiding in your smile, a secret you must keep love cuts you deep.

Chorus:      
B5                                        A5
Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
B5                                        A5
Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
      
Verse 2:
            D5                     B5
 There's no scarlet in you, lay a fair down for me
G5                                 F#5
Sure has got me twined, you can't wrap you arms around a memory
     D5               B5
Take warmth from me, cold autumn winds cut sharp as a knife
           G5                      F#5
but in the dark for me you're the candle flame that flikkers to light

Chorus:                  x2 times
      
Bridge:
D5                   B5
Wise men say all is fair in love and war
               G5         
And there's no right or wrong in the design of love
    F#5            
And I could only watch as the wind crushed your wings
D5                B5
Broken and torn, crushed like a flower under the snow
             G5                     F#5
and like the flower in the spring, love will rise again to heal your wings
      
Chorus 2:
B5                                       A5
Love heals the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
B5                                            A5
Love will heal the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
B5                                        A5
Love heals the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
B5                                            A5
Love will heal the wings of a butterfly on a wheel
