[Verse 1]
G        Em             C
   Yesterday, I went outside
     C* D            G
With my mama's mason jar
       Em             C   Cadd9 Asus2
Caught a lovely butterfly
G         Em    Em* C
   When I woke up today
          D     D/A   G5/D
Looked in on my fairy pet
        Em            Cadd9
She had withered all away
C       Am             D
No more sighing in her breast
 
[Chorus]
       D/A           G
I'm sorry for what I did
      Em           Am7
I did what my body told me to
  D      D/A            G5/D
I didn't mean to do you harm
      G7/B            C      C*      D        Dsus2  G
Every time I pin down what I think I want, it slips away
    Em           Am7
The ghost slips away
 
[Verse 2]
G            Em             C
   Smell you on my hand for days
  C*    D              G
I can't wash away your scent
       Em                   C     Cadd9 Asus2
If I'm a dog, then you're a bitch
G          Em        Em*     C
   I guess you're as real as me
      D     D/A       G5/D
Maybe I can live with that
      Em          Cadd9
Maybe I need fantasy
C       Am            D
Life of chasing butterfly
 
[Chorus]
       D/A           G
I'm sorry for what I did
      Em           Am7
I did what my body told me to
  D      D/A            G5/D
I didn't mean to do you harm
      G7/B            C      C*      D        Dsus2  G
Every time I pin down what I think I want, it slips away
    Em           Am7 Am7
The ghost slips away
 
[Verse 3]
G         Em            C
   I told you I would return
         D               G
When the robin makes his nest
      Em                 Cadd9 Am Asus2
But I ain't never coming back
 
[Outro]
G* G/B     Dsus4 G/D
       I'm sor - rry
    Em**
I'm sorry
    C**   C6
I'm sorry
G
