Em         C
I had nothing to say
G            D
On Christmas day
         Em             C              G    D/F#
When you threw all your clothes in the snow
         Em          C
When you burned your hair
        G            D
And you knocked over chairs
       Em            C           G
I just tried to stay out of your way


[Chorus 1]
             G
But when you fell asleep
     C             G
With blood on your teeth
       Em        C             G
I just got in my car and drove away
          G         C
Listen to me, butterfly
        C            G
There's only so much wine
             Em
That you can drink
       C
In one life
            C          G
And it will never be enough
            Em
To save you from
    C              G
The bottom of your glass

[Verse 2]
(Crescendo)
         Em            C
When the state highway starts
G         D
I stop my car
      Em     C               G    D/F#
I get out to stare up at the stars
       Em      C
And as meteors died
    G               D
And shot across the sky
       Em                 C           G
I just thought about your sad shining eyes


[Chorus 2]
           G
And I went back for my clothes
         C                G
When the sun finally rose
       Em             C                 G
Oh but you were still passed out on the floor
          G        N.C.
Listen to me butterfly
                     N.C.
There's only so much wine
             Em
That you can drink
       C
In one life
            C          G
But it will never be enough
            Em
To save you from
    C              G
The bottom of your glass
