C                   Em
I hope you're not a butterfly
       Am               G             C   G
That's gonna spread its wings and fly awa—ay
C                     Em
I hope you're not the moving type
       Am           G             C   G
That's gonna up and pack and walk awa—ay’


[Bridge to Chorus 1]

C          Em      Am              G        C
I need you to be there to treat me like you care
C          Em      Am            G      C
I need you to be where, anywhere I need you
C          Em      Am              G      C
I need you to myself, not lay with anyone else
C          Em             G
I need you next to me for always

G                         C         Em    Am             G      C    G
Could you be my sunshine (Could you be my sunshine) on a cloudy da--ay?
G                       C         Em    Am               G       C      G
Could you be my yellow (Could you be my yellow) when I'm feelin' gra--aay?


[Verse 2]

C                     Em
I hope you're not the type
          Am             G              C     G
To jump into the car and twist the key, goodbye
C                     Em
I hope you're not the type
                Am              G             C    G
That's quick to say goodbye and not give it a chance

I need you to myself, not lay with anyone else
C          Em             G
I need you next to me for always

G                      C         Em    Am                 G     C     G
Could you be my river (Could you be my river) and help me float awa-aay?
G                         C         Em    Am             G      C    G
