This song is called Broken Window Serenade.
I wrote this song about a guy who was in love with a girl growing up and kind of just goes
through her life and the stuff she had to deal with and she actually ends up dying of
amphetamine abuse and it kind of explains the area where we're from really good.
So, [G] here it is.
[C]
[Em]
[C]
[Em]
[C] A couple of butterflies is what I brought [G] to you.
I saw [Em] you through a broken window.
A different part of you.
You [C] had signs of depression.
From a long line of [Em] sin in your face.
Tells a story about the places you have been.
I love [C] you so.
I thought [Em] you should know.
And [C] that muddy water's flowing.
As you take my [Em] hand past the creek down by the isle.
Through your daddy's land.
And I [C] could buy you a diamond.
But I cannot change the [Em] world.
Cause I ain't got no money.
You'll never be my girl.
[C] I thought [Em] you should know.
That [C] you was gonna be a singer.
A big movie [Dm] star.
[Em] But you can't catch no bricks baby.
In Hollywood, S.I.
Now [C] you work down at the time out.
Off a 1.55.
And [Em] you're dancing for your dollars.
Just trying to stay alive.
It [C] hurts me so.
I thought [Em] you should know.
[C] And you feed your addiction.
With your crystal meth.
[Em] And I bleed for your life.
As it takes you to your death.
You [C] make your deal with the devil.
Cause your looks begin to fade.
I think [Em] I saw you laughing through the tear.
As you slowly slipped away.
I [C] thought you [Em] should know.
I [C] thought [Am] you [Em] should know.
[C]
[Em]
[Am] [G]
[C] [Em]
[C] That cold rain is pouring.
See you lay you in the [Em] grave.
And I can barely recognize you.
In your fragile state.
No [C] more signs of depression.
From a long time ago.
[Em] I thought when a bird had fly.
As he slowly laid you low.
It [C] was a road.
I thought [Em] you should know.
That it was [C] a road.
I thought [Em] you should know.
[C]
[Em]
[C]
[Em]
[C] A couple of pretty flies.
Is what I brought to you.
[Em] I saw you.
Through a broken window.
With a different [C] point of view.
