[D] [A]
[E]
Standing in the yard, [D] watching a butterfly
He wonders if his heart [B] breaks, or if it [E] ever cries
[A] It seems like he has cried [D] a whole lot [A] lately
[D] Oh, to be [A] a butterfly, [E] so pretty and [A] so free
Five years old and shattered, [D] since Daddy walked away
[A] He's trying to understand, [B] why it has to be [E] this way
[A] Why he thought Mommy and Daddy [D] would always love [A] each other
[D] Why he thought she [A] was the best, so [E] why did Daddy want [A] another?
[D] Oh, tell me Mommy, [A] is Daddy not coming home?
I hate it like crazy, when I have to play [E] alone
[A] I want to be like Jimmy, when his dad [D] helps him play
Oh, tell [A] me Mommy, [E] why did Daddy go [A] away?
Sitting [D] [A]
[E] [A]
on his bed, [D] troubled as can be
[A] Thinking about a preacher, [B] he saw on [E] TV
[A] He went to talk to Daddy, [D] to see what he [A] would do
[D] But when he saw [A] his mother, [E] he was met [A] with a truce
[D] Oh, tell me Mommy, [A] is Daddy not coming home?
I hate it like crazy, when we're here all [E]
alone
[A] We used to love to tussle, at the end [D] of his day
Oh, [A] tell me Mommy, [E] why did Daddy go [A]
away?
Sitting [A] on his bed, [D] with his head in his hands
[A] Wondering if this Jesus, [B] could really [E] understand
His trust had been broken, he [D] was sure that no one [A] cared
[D] With all the faith [A] he had, [E] he whispered a little [A] prayer
Standing in the yard, [D] watching a butterfly
