Butterfly Bones

C F C When one year ends and another begins and the sky is a shower of sparks C G With your skinny girls arms with the hairs on their ends like exclamation marks C F C Well I admit I was scared, I felt unprepared if I need you tell me where you'll be C F C F C G C You said “It's not surprising, just look to the horizon, it's the circle in the middle is me” C F C A week in the hospital, always sick when you were little, you were brittle like butterfly bones C G I wish I had been there to run a comb through your hair - it always smelt like smoke and pine cones C F C But then the devil shot through, you got stronger as you grew but they treat you like you're never the same C F C F C G C You filled your one good lung and bit down hard on your tongue just to keep yourself from going insane (Not sure about this part...) C Am F Oh Oh Oh G Oh (Interlude, the verses chords, Darren does much finger picking here in a guitar solo) C F C C G C F C C F C F C G C (Middle 8) G C And the rides keep on turning G C And our lives insist on turning G C And my mind it keeps on learning C F But I can smell something burning mmm C F C Now in a minute or less I tried to confess every single thing I've learnt so far C G In a skirt that you'd stolen as the road was unrolling and unreelin' 'neath the wheels of the car C F C No I haven't been drinking, I don't know what I was thinking but it really don't mean a thing C F C F C G C She said “do me a favour if you wanna be my saviour then you're gonna have to wait 'til the spring” C F C F C G C She said “do me a favour if you wanna be my saviour then you're gonna have to learn how to sing”
