Bm Bm                           G G
She was just five years old.
D D
A A slightly moody day.
A A Bm Bm
She couldn't stay away, from that rivers edge and I.
G G
I turn my back to count.
D D
All the daffodil seas that surrounded.
A A
I close my eyes, and then heard the water wake up.


G G A A Bm Bm
And I, I can still hear that scream, It's still lingering, in the air, everywhere.
A A G G
"Mother, please save me, grab my hand" (I can't I can't)
A A Bm Bm
I can still see that face, sink beneath the waves.
A A
Baby please, breath for me, give me time I am here.


G G
Where did you go?
A A
Where'd you go?
G G
Where'd you go?
A A
Hey, where'd you go?


D D
Were the angels that lonely?
Bm Bm
Couldn't they suffice for anybody else?
G G
Can't everybody just lie to me.
A A
She's home, she's home. Crying for me now.
D D Bm Bm G G
Every night on a Monday, I will visit the same spot that I hate.
A A D D
Yes the place that baby loved, and now she can taste it, it took her away.


Bm Bm G G
It's been five years since then.
D D
And when it hits September.
A A
I'll feel like I'm dying again.
Bm Bm
Ian still won't even talk to me, talk to me!
G G
Isn't this pain, guilt enough?
D D A A
I can't even look out the window, without seeing reflections distorted in the sun.



G G A A Bm Bm
And I, I can still hear that scream, It's still lingering, in the air, everywhere.
A A G G
"Mother, please save me, grab my hand" (I can't I can't)
A A Bm Bm
I can still see that face, sink beneath the waves.
A A
Baby please, breath for me, give me time I am here.


G G
Where did you go?
A A
Where'd you go?
G G
Where'd you go?
A A
Hey, where'd you go?


D D
Were the angels that lonely?
Bm Bm
Couldn't they suffice for anybody else?
G G
Can't everybody just lie to me.
A A
She's home, she's home. Crying for me now.
D D Bm Bm G G
Every night on a Monday, I will visit the same spot that I hate.
A A D D
Yes the place that baby loved, and now she can taste it, it took her away.


Bm Bm G G
And the pain hits me like gunshot.
D D A A
Oh and I'm heading on the way to the floor, I hear her name and it kills me.
Bm Bm
Oh, bottles up, bottles up, bottles up.


G G
And I'm trying my best to hurt me.
D D
Ian says it's never enough.
A A Bm Bm G G A A
A A razor to the wrist for each unshed tear, cough it up, drink it up, drink it up.


D D
Were the angels that lonely?
Bm Bm
Couldn't they suffice for anybody else?
G G
Can't everybody just lie to me.
A A
She's home, she's home. Crying for me now.
D D Bm Bm G G
Every night on a Monday, I will visit the same spot that I hate.
A A D D
Yes the place that baby loved, and now she can taste it, it took her away.
Bm Bm GA
Oh it took her away. Took her away.


Bm Bm G G D D
So I had a coma, when I crashed my car in the lake.
A A Bm Bm
I saw your face down there I knew, it was not a mistake.
GD
So I went to the doctor. I told him, oh my heart will break,
A A
If I couldn't see you. He just, gave me more pills.


Bm Bm
But, I saw you up there.
G G
Still floating by the river.
D D
God, you always loved that river.
A A
I bet your heaven looks just like it.


Bm Bm G G D D
Then I'll like it too, even though it scares me now.
A A
But when I'm with you.
Bm Bm G G D D
I'll be just fine, I'll be just fine.


A A Bm Bm G G D D
We can sit, we can talk about, talk about...Butterflies. Butterflies.
A A
Butterflies.
Bm Bm
Butterflies
