D                                 A 
Amanda sings a shattered songbird back to life 
       Em 
in the woods behind her father's house 
      G 
she's 9 and wants to die 
   D                        A 
so why become a butterfly? 

  Em 
I search my brain for her last name 
   G 
to see if she's alive 




          D 
you're an absurd light 
A 
all the world's a stage of grief 
    Em              G 
you reconcile, come together or obliterate 

D                                     A 
Amanda I've forgotten your last name 
Em             G 
forgive me, I apologize 




D                                 A 
Amanda fights my bullies and in a loving sneer she says 
Em 
"Why don't you know how to fight? 
         G 
It's the first thing I ever learned." 

D                              A 
I was only taught to yearn and wait around for providence 
Em                               G 
drinking every potion down that offered me a cure 




          D 
you're an absurd light 
A 
all the world's a stage of grief 
    Em              G 
you reconcile, come together or obliterate 

D                                     A 
Amanda I've forgotten your last name 
Em             G 
forgive me, I apologize 

  D            A 
I apologize 
  Em           G 
I apologize
