[Bb]
I need not a big white butterfly,
And I'm half the weight of all the sky.
[Eb] I've got my eyes all up on something,
For myself I'm really [A] nothing.
[Bb] Then I realized my butterfly
Wasn't [F] really up there with [Eb] me.
[B] Don't make mistakes, forgive me.
[Bb] Would you like to ride my butterfly?
I ain't not a little paper plane,
With any seasick starry watch a day.
[Eb] I'm easy to get injured,
A lump of lead makes it [Bb] bitter.
Then I realized my paper plane
[F] Wasn't really up there with [Eb] me.
[Bb] Don't make mistakes, forgive me.
Would you like to ride my paper plane?

[F] [Bb] Flying in a three-crown Deutsche car,
Eight of the years, I've learned where it's gone.
[Eb] Always near, but such a long way.
Break down heads don't feel a [Bb] long way.
Then I realized my Deutsche car
[F] Told things that you had seen [Eb] somewhere.
[B] Even so, I really [Bb] do care.
Would you like to ride my paper plane?
[F] [Bb]
