I made this so it includes the correct timing and the riffs which the other chords did not.

[Verse 1]
G Em C
Yesterday I went outside
D G
With my momma's mason jar
Em C Riff 1
Caught a lovely butterfly
G Em C
When I woke up today
D G
Looked in on my fairy pet
Em C
She had withered all away
Riff 1 D7
No more sighing in her breast
[Chorus]
G
I'm sorry for what I did
Em C
I did what my body told me to
D G
I didn't mean to do you harm
G7 C G D
Every time I pin down what I think I want
Riff 2 Em
It slips away
C
The ghost slips away
[Verse 2]
G Em C
Smell you on my hand for days
D G
I can't wash away your scent
Em C Riff 1
I'm a dog then you're a bitch
G Em C
I guess you're as real as me
D G
Maybe I can live with that
Em C
Maybe I need fantasy
Riff 1 D7
Life of chasing butterfly
[Chorus]
G
I'm sorry for what I did
Em C
I did what my body told me to
D G
I didn't mean to do you harm
G7 C G D
Every time I pin down what I think I want
Riff 2 Em
It slips away
C
The ghost slips away
[Verse 3]
G Em C
I told you I would return
D G
When the robin makes his nest
Em C Riff 3
But I ain't never coming back
G Em C C/B G
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry

if you're going by the album version, it would actually be tuned half step down.
