Bm                           G
   She was just five years old.
                   D
A slightly moody day.
                    A                              Bm
She couldn't stay away, from that rivers edge and I.
		      G
I turn my back to count.
				 D
All the daffodil seas that surrounded.
			   A
I close my eyes, and then heard the water wake up.


    G                           A		      Bm
And I, I can still hear that scream, It's still lingering, in the air, everywhere.
                     A 				     G
"Mother, please save me, grab my hand" (I can't I can't)
		      A			     Bm
I can still see that face, sink beneath the waves.
                                               A
Baby please, breath for me, give me time I am here.


               G
Where did you go?
	    A
Where'd you go?
	    G
Where'd you go?
		 A
Hey, where'd you go?


D
   Were the angels that lonely?
Bm
   Couldn't they suffice for anybody else?
G
Can't everybody just lie to me.
A
She's home, she's home. Crying for me now.
D			  Bm					 G
   Every night on a Monday, I will visit the same spot that I hate.
			      A						 D
Yes the place that baby loved, and now she can taste it, it took her away.


Bm				 G
   It's been five years since then.
		     D
And when it hits September.
			   A
I'll feel like I'm dying again.
					  Bm
Ian still won't even talk to me, talk to me!
			   G
Isn't this pain, guilt enough?
			    D					 A
I can't even look out the window, without seeing reflections distorted in the sun.



    G                           A		      Bm
And I, I can still hear that scream, It's still lingering, in the air, everywhere.
                     A 				     G
"Mother, please save me, grab my hand" (I can't I can't)
		      A			     Bm
I can still see that face, sink beneath the waves.
                                               A
Baby please, breath for me, give me time I am here.

Yes the place that baby loved, and now she can taste it, it took her away.


Bm				    G
   And the pain hits me like gunshot.
					 D				  A
Oh and I'm heading on the way to the floor, I hear her name and it kills me.
				    Bm
Oh, bottles up, bottles up, bottles up.


			     G
And I'm trying my best to hurt me.
			D
Ian says it's never enough.
				       A				      Bm      G  A
A razor to the wrist for each unshed tear, cough it up, drink it up, drink it up.

		 Bm		 G	A
Oh it took her away. Took her away.


Bm		   G				 D
   So I had a coma, when I crashed my car in the lake.
			      A			    Bm
I saw your face down there I knew, it was not a mistake.
		     G					D
So I went to the doctor. I told him, oh my heart will break,
			    A
If I couldn't see you. He just, gave me more pills.


Bm
   But, I saw you up there.
G
   Still floating by the river.
D
   God, you always loved that river.
A
   I bet your heaven looks just like it.


Bm		      G				    D
   Then I'll like it too, even though it scares me now.
		    A
But when I'm with you.
Bm		  G		      D
   I'll be just fine, I'll be just fine.


		    A	 		    Bm		 G	      D
We can sit, we can talk about, talk about...Butterflies. Butterflies.
	     A
Butterflies.
Bm
Butterflies
