[A] [E] [F#m]
[F]
[G] [D] [A]
When [Dm]
you [A] love someone [Dm] so [C#m] deeply they become your [A] life
It's [Dm] easy to succumb [E] to all [C#]
[A] insults
Lately I've been trying [E]
to keep you [F#m] under glass
Now [G] I understand, to hold you I [D] must open up my hands and walk
[A]
Hold your wings and prepare to [E] fly
[F#m] If you and me become a butterfly
[F] Oh, I'll fly above [Em] the light
I'll lead [G] you to [A] the sun
If you should return to [C#m] me
[F#m]
We truly were meant to be, so [F]
spread your [C] wings and [G] fly, [D] bird [A]
fly.
[D]
I have learned that beauty has [C#m] to flourish [A] in the light.
While horses run on briar, [C#m]
that [A] spirit, [Dm]
you [E] can [F#m]
be all that I am.
And [G] I truly [D]
fear to be when you're ready [A] to leave.
Spread your wings and prepare to [E] fly, [F#m]
you will become a butterfly.
[F]
Fly, fly, fly, fly, [G] fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, fly.
And lean into the [A]
sun, and feel the ocean turn to [E] me.
[F#m]
We're truly what we're meant to be
[Am] Spread your wings and [G] [D] fly
[A] But I'll never have [G#m] that
I can't pretend [C#] these tears are never [F#m]
flowing steadily
I [C#]
can't prevent this hurt from almost [F#m]
overtaking me
[F]
But I will [G]
[C] stand and [G] say [Am] goodbye
I [A#]
will not be mine [D] until you know the [Bm] way
[A] Spread your wings and fly
[E] [F#m] You can become a butterfly
[D] Or [C] a butterfly that flies [Bm] into the [A]
sun
If you should return to [E] me
[F#m]
We're truly what we're meant to [D] be
[C] Spread your wings [G] and fly
[A]
Spread your wings and fly
[E] [F#m]
You can become a butterfly
Or [Am] a butterfly that [G] flies into the [A] sun
If you should return to [E] me
[F#m]
We're truly what we're meant to be
[C] Spread your wings and [G] fly [D] [A] Butterfly
[F] So fly to the [G] sky
[D]
Butterfly
[A] Spread
[E] [F#m]
[F#] [C] your wings and [G] fly
[A] Butterfly
