Christina Perri- Butterfly Guitar Tab

(*I like the sound of this [x04553]-adding the 3rd fret
e string during the strumming parts, but it's for sure
an open e for the picking.)


Not sure if that C5 is named correctly :/
  C5 [x04550]-picking
     [x04553]-strumming
Gsus4[320010]or[xx0010] which could be another chord all together :/

STANDARD TUNING
NO CAPO

Intro/1st verse-

    Am                  Gsus4               C5?              Am/F

Am
You're a pretty butterfly and
Gsus4
You keep on passing by
   C5
You never land inside my hands
     Am/F
Your home is in the sky
    Am
And there's a lesson waiting to be learned
    Gsus4
The fire starters always get the best
        C5
And the good guys never get the girl
    Am/F                          
And shooting stars cannot fix the world

-strum-

    F                     
And I've made the same mistakes
      C    G     Am/F
But I won't this time
      C    G    Am/F
No I won't this time

-Interlude/2nd verse-

    Am                  Gsus4               C5?              Am/F

E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Am
And you're a pretty butterfly
Gsus4
And I believed all your lies
                C5
Blinded by your sideways smile
  Am/F
And  kindness in your eyes
    Am
But there's a limit to your flight
Gsus4
I can offer you a better life
     C5
But you keep on flying from the light
    Am/F
And I've lost my faith in wrong and right

-strum here on out-
    F                     
And I've made the same mistakes
      C    G     Am/F
But I won't this time
      C    G    Am/F  Gsus4  Am/F  Gsus4
No I won't this time

  C
I know exactly what you'll do
  Am
I made damn sure I studied you
    Am/F
You won't pick me I am just a breeze 
     G
Underneath your wings
     C
So I pray each night you'll change your mind
    Am
And maybe I am worth the fight
    Am/F
But I am wrong every time
    G                C    Am  Am/F  G
You only know how to fly

                 C             Am  
You only know how to fly, whoa oh 
    Am/F-once  (G*      C*) -you can play these chords if you want but 
You only,  know how to, fly           really there are no chords here.

 

 

Have fun!
