Butterfly Net

	  		Intro D  F  D  F 

Verse 1:
D2              D2/F 
Earth went silent, London fell asleep 
D2              D2/F 
She dreamed of winter where you appeared to me 
D2           D2/F        G2 
Perfect timing as new petals in November 
Bb2                        C2 
A tender creature, a fever disarming 
Fluorescent 


D                        F 
There you were with your mirror 
D                     Em 
Shining the world all over me 
Dm               C 
There I was with my butterfly net 
Bb                   C 
Trying to catch your light

Verse 2:
D               F7M 
I collected stupid ashes 
Bb                              C2 
So that after you'd gone I could hold onto 

Something 
        Dm                     C2 
But you stayed unwavering through every 

False goodbye 
Bb                C2 
Unsubsiding, pining, for now and for never 

 

D                        F 
There you were with your mirror 
D                     Em 
Shining the world all over me 
Dm               C 
There I was with my butterfly net 
Bb                   C 
Trying to catch your light 

 
Bridge:
Dm          C                   Ab 
  Oh if only the umbrella of the sky 
             Bb 
Could wrap us up and up 
                 Dm.           C 
That's where I'd zoom in close, dilated as 
Ab 
Your eyes 
                 Bb 
But til then I'll keep it brief 

Verse 3:
Faithful inertia, her bullet doesn't slow 

It seeks and finds me how far it goes 

Heaven help me 
Dm                        Am 
Take this bag of wings and drown it in the thames 
Bbm                Bb       C 
And wake tomorrow, hollow, hardly 

Forgetting 
 


D             D  Em  F 
There you were 
Dm                     C 
There I was with my butterfly net 
Bb                   C 
Trying to catch your light
