Hi there! Alright, here's the tab :)
*I had some help with the chords names form UG user P_Trik!
The Am/F is gone because apparently they don't exist! This
shape [x03210] is really an Fmaj7/A and the C5 is more like
a D9. Just follow the tab and you're good to go! :)
Play along with the song to get the timing down-

(*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.)
D9 [x04500]-picking
[x04553]-strumming
Gsus [320010] or [xx0010] which could be another chord all together :/
Fmaj7/A[x03210]- commonly known as an Am/F but it's not!

Am
You're a pretty butterfly and
Gsus
You keep on passing by
D9
You never land inside my hands
Fmaj7/A
Your home is in the sky
Am
And there's a lesson waiting to be learned
Gsus
The fire starters always get the best
D9
And the good guys never get the girl
Fmaj7/A
And shooting stars cannot fix the world
-strum-
F
And I've made the same mistakes

Am
And you're a pretty butterfly
Gsus
And I believed all your lies
D9
Blinded by your sideways smile
Fmaj7/A
And kindness in your eyes
Am
But there's a limit to your flight
Gsus
I can offer you a better life
D9
But you keep on flying from the light
Fmaj7/A
And I've lost my faith in wrong and right
-strum here on out-
F
And I've made the same mistakes
C G Fmaj7/A
But I won't this time
C G Fmaj7/A Gsus Fmaj7/A Gsus
No I won't this time
C
I know exactly what you'll do
Am
I made damn sure I studied you
Fmaj7/A
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
Fmaj7/A
But I am wrong every time
G C Am Fmaj7/A G
You only know how to fly
C Am
You only know how to fly, whoa oh
Fmaj7/A-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 and RATE :)

Great tab!!!!

I usually change the D9 to D and the Fmaj7/A to F and it is easier but still sounds good.
