[Intro]
Am C F Em
[Verse 1]
Am F C G
I had nothing to say on Christmas Day
Am F C Em
When you threw all your clothes in the snow
Am F C G
When you burnt your hair and knocked over chairs
Am F C Em
I just tried to stay out of your way
[Bridge]
Am
But when you fell asleep
F C
With blood on your teeth
Am F G
I just got in my car and drove away
[Chorus]
C F
Listen to me, Butterfly
C
There's only so much wine
Am F
That you can drink in one life
C
And it will never be enough
Am F C
To save you from the bottom of your glass
[Whistling Bridge]
Am F C G Am F C
(x2)
[Verse 2]
Am F C G
Where the state highway starts, I parked my car
Am F Em
And I got out and stared up at the stars
Am F C G
And as meteors dived and shot across the sky
Am F C
I thought about your sad, shining eyes
[Bridge]
Am Em
I came back for my clothes
F C
When the sun finally rosе
Am F G
And you were still passed out on thе floor
[Chorus]
C F
Listen to me, Butterfly
C
There's only so much wine
Am F
That you can drink in one life
C
And it will never be enough
Am F C
To save you from the bottom of your glass
[Whistling Outro]
Am F C G Am F C

I had nothing to say on Christmas Day
When you threw all your clothes in the snow
When you burnt your hair and knocked over chairs
I just tried to stay out of your way
But when you fell asleep
With blood on your teeth
I just got in my car and drove away
Listen to me, Butterfly
There's only so much wine
That you can drink in one life
And it will never be enough
To save you from the bottom of your glass
Where the state highway starts, I parked my car
And I got out and stared up at the stars
And as meteors dived and shot across the sky
I thought about your sad, shining eyes
I came back for my clothes
When the sun finally rose
When you were still passed out on the floor
Listen to me, Butterfly
There's only so much wine
That you can drink in one life
And it will never be enough
To save you from the bottom of your glass
