Amshe watches a Em7darkness creeping Amup about Em7half past eight
Amshe sits by the Em7weeping willow Amsays that she Em7can relate
Amshe dreams of Em7someday getting Amout of this Em7place
Amshe says she's Em7never felt at Amhome even in Em7her own face
GI know it Dwon't be long
Amtill you turn into a Cbutterfly
GI know you're weak and you're Dhanging on
Amgo and give it aEm7nother try
Am Em7 Am Em7
Amshe dreams of Em7puppies and those Amwings that look like Em7parachutes
Amshe dreams of Em7waterfalls that Amsweep your feet from Em7under you
Amshe finds her Em7comfort inside Ambedtime stories and Em7fairy tales
Amanything with a Em7happy ending Amshe says it can Em7never fail
GI know it Dwon't be long
Amtill you turn into a Cbutterfly
GI know you're weak but you're Dhanging on
Amcause you're dreaming of an Em7open sky
Fshe don't wanna Gtalk about it cause Cthat's all C/Bthat she's Amdone
Fshe don't wanna Gthink about it Cshe's not the C/Bonly Amone
Fshe doesn't wanna Gbe what she Cdoesn't C/Bhave to Ambe
doesn't have to Embe E  
Amshe wants to bEm7e the girl whose Amswept off her feet Em7in the end
Amshe wants to Em7live a life that's Amreal and not just Em7for pretend
Amshe dreams of Em7laughter echoAming and says it's her Em7favorite sound
Amshe dreams of Em7plastic parents Amthat will never Em7let her down
Gand I know Dit won't be long
Amtill you turn into a Cbutterfly
GI know you're weak and you're Dhanging on
Amcause you're dreaming of an Copen sky
Amgo and give it aCnother try
Gand I know Dit won't be long
Amtill you turn into a Cbutterfly
GI know you're weak but you're Dhanging on
Amcause you're dreaming of an Em7open sky
