[A] when

Your wings and prepare to [E] fly
[F#m] For you to become a butterfly

Oh, a [C] fly about to [Em] leap [G] into [A] the sun

So [F] I'll spread your [C] wings and [G] fly, [D]
[A] butterfly

I [C#] can't prevent this hurt from [F#m] almost overtaking [F] me
Oh, I [G]
will stand [C] and [G] thank God [Am]
[A#] for you'll never be mine
[D] Until you know the [Bm] way
[A] I'll spread your wings and prepare to [E] fly

I'll [G] spread your wings [A] and fly
If you should return to [E] me
