Hi there!   I'm loving this song (big surprise!)

about some chords I was unsure of and UG user
P_Trik helped out with actual names (who knew the
Am/F chord does not exist??)
Here's a link to the song, play along-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsKE-wbmSwI
**The chords look scary but the shapes are easy:)
         EADGBe
D9/F#   200210
Gsus    [3x0010] or [xx0010]- which could be another chord all together :/
Fmaj7/A [x03210] - mistakenly known as an Am/F, which I've learned does not
                   exist. (Read comments below, Thanks P_Trik)
(I've got it tabbed too, check it out.)
STANDARD TUNING
NO CAPO
Intro- 
Am Gsus D9/F# Fmaj7/A
Am
You're a pretty butterfly and
Gsus
You keep on passing by
   D9/F#
You   never land inside my hands
     Fmaj7/A
Your home is in the sky
    Am
And there's a lesson waiting to be learned
    Gsus
The fire starters always get the best
        D9/F#
And the good guys never get the girl
    Fmaj7/A
And shooting stars cannot fix the world
    F
And I've made the same mistakes
      C     G    Fmaj7/A
But I won't this time
     C     G    Fmaj7/A
No I won't this time
Am Gsus D9/F# Fmaj7/A
Am
And you're a pretty butterfly
Gsus
And I believed all your lies
                D9/F#
Blinded by your sideways smile
   Fmaj7/A
And   kindness in your eyes
    Am
But there's a limit to your flight
Gsus
I can offer you a better life
    D9/F#
But you keep on flying from the light
    Fmaj7/A
And I've lost my faith in wrong and right
    F
And I've made the same mistakes
      C     G    Fmaj7/A
But I won't this time
     C    G     Fmaj7/A  Gsus  Fmaj7/A  Gsus
No I won't this time
  C
I know exactly what you'll do
  Am
I made damn sure I studied you
    Fmaj7/A
You won't pick me I am just a breeze 
     G
Underneath your wings
     C
So I pray each night you'll change your mind
    Am
And maybe I am worth the fight
    Fmaj7/A
But I am wrong every time
    G                C    Am  Fmaj7/A  G
You only know how to fly
                 C             Am
You only know how to fly, whoa oh 
    Fmaj7/A -once (G*      C* -you can play these chords if you want but 
You only,     know how to, fly          really there are no chords here.)
Have fun and RATE :)
