  In front of me something I can't rAecognize
  You stood beside me all my life
  BmThe heart machines are ticking, I can hear the life support pumping, The line between 
life and death
                                  G
  Adoesn't become any clearer than this, Cover with an oxygen mask, These words will be

Chorus:

  With both your feat on the ground

Dead By April - As A Butterfly

Tuning: Standard

Verse:

Bm G

No, I just refuse to believe my eyes

In front of me something I can't recognize

You stood beside me all my life

The heart machines are ticking, I can hear the life support pumping, The line between

life and death

doesn't become any clearer than this, Cover with an oxygen mask, These words will be

his last

With the energy he's got left, He turns to me and say

Chorus:

G Bm

I can not stand by you

Till the end of the world

like I said I would do

G Bm

No, I wont be able to

help you carry the weight

Of the world my time has come

G Bm

Silent as a butterfly

I'll be flying beside you

watching above you

G Bm D A

Silent as a butterfly

Verse:

Bm G

All of a sudden I've lost my strength

Isn't it scary how things can change

It made an instant just like that

Whenever I have questions, You always have the answers, You told me about life and the

G A

importance of being yourself, What you are, you value honesty, How not to lose grip of reality

With both your feat on the ground

Chorus:

G Bm

I can not stand by you

Till the end of the world

No, I wont be able to

help you carry the weight

Of the world my time has come

Silent as a butterfly

I'll be flying beside you

watching above you

You weren't supposed to see

me like this and I'm sorry

G Bm

I would say It's not true

D A

but I will see you soon

Chorus:

G Bm

I can not stand by you

Till the end of the world

G Bm

No, I wont be able to

help you carry the weight

Of the world my time has come
