Em G D Bm C B7 Em
[Verse]
Em G D
I had nothing to say on Christmas day
C Am7 B7
When you threw all your clothes in the snow
Em G D
When you burnt your hair, and you knocked over chairs
C B7 Em
I just tried to stay out of your way
[Chorus]
G D
But when you fell asleep, With blood on your teeth,
C Am7 B7
I just got in my car and drove away
G D
Listen to me, butterfly
C B7 Em
You know there's only so much wine
C G
That you can drink in one life
C B7
But it will never be enough
Am
To save you from
B7 Em
The bottom of your glass
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Em G D
Where the state highway starts, I stopped my car
C Am7 B7
I get out to stare up at the stars
Em G
And as meteors died
D
And shot across the sky
C B7 Em
I just thought about your sad shining eyes
[Chorus 2]
G D
But when I went back for my clothes, when the sun finally rose
C Am7 B7
Oh, and you were still passed out on the floor
G D
Listen to me, butterfly, no
C B7 Em
You know there's only so much wine
C G
That you can drink in one life
D B7
But it will never be enough
Am
To save you from
B7 Em
The bottom of your glass
