[Verse 1]
There I was with the old man, stranded again, so off I ran
A young world crashing around me; no possibilities of getting what I need
He looked at me and smiled,
said No, no, no, no, no, no child
[Chorus]
See the dog and butterfly, Up in the air he like to fly
G(no3rd)
Dog and butterfly, Below she had to try
She roll back down to the warm, soft ground,
Laughing, She don t know why
She don t know why, Dog and Butterfly
[Verse 2]
Well I stumbled upon your secret place, Safe in the trees, you had tears on your face
Wrestling with your desires; frozen stangers stealing your fires
The message hit my mind,
Only words that I could find
[Chorus]
See the dog and butterfly, Up in the air he like to fly
G(no3rd)
Dog and butterfly, Below she had to try
She roll back down to the warm, soft ground,
Laughing, to the sky
Up to the sky, Dog and Butterfly
[Bridge]
We re getting older, The world getting colder
D C(no 3rd) G(no 3rd) A
For the life of me, I don t know the reason why
C#m E(no 3rd) Dsus2 A
Maybe it s living, making us give in
D C(no 3rd) G(no 3rd) A
Heart rolling in, taken back on the tide
D C(no 3rd) G(no 3rd) A
We re balanced together; ocean upon the sky
[Verse 3]
Another night in this stange town, Moonlight holding me light as down
Voice of confusion inside of me, begging to go back where I m free
Feels like I m through,
Then the old man s words are true
[Chorus]
See the dog and butterfly, Up in the air he like to fly
G(no3rd)
Dog and butterfly, Below she had to try
She roll back down to the warm, soft ground,
With a little tear in her eye
She had to try, She had to try, Dog and Butterfly
[Outro]
(chorus chords)
Up in the air he like to fly
Dog and butterfly, Below she has to try
She roll back down to the warm, soft ground,
Laughing, she don t know why,
She had to try, She had to try, Dog and Butterfly
