Butterfly

Mariah Carey

Intro: A F#m C G A 

D                                    E             

When you love someone so deeply

 A

They become your life

     D               E                              A         A7

It's easy to succumb overwhelming fears inside

  D           E

Blindly I imagined I could

A                       F#m

Keep you under glass

             D

Now I understand to hold you

          E

I must open my hand

And watch you rise

   A                                    

Spread your wings and prepare to fly

       F#m

For you have become a butterfly

 C                  G                A

Fly abandonedly into the sun

    A                                  F#m

If you should return to me

   

We truly were meant to be

      C                               G       

So spread your wings and fly

         A

Butterfly

I have learned that beauty

Has to flourish in the light

Wild horses ride unbridled

Or their spirit dies

You have given me the courage

To be all that I can

And truly feel your heart will

Lead you back to me when you're

Ready to land

Spread your wings and prepare to fly

For you have become a butterfly

Fly abandonedly into the sun

If you should return to me

We truly were meant to be

So spread your wings and fly

Butterfly

    F#m                            Bm

I can't pretend these tears

                 A

Aren't overflowing steadily

   F#m                  Bm

I can't prevent this hurt from

            A

Almost overtaking me

F  C          G                       D

But I will stand and say goodbye

        G

For you'll never be mine

E

Until you know the way it feels to fly

Spread your wings and prepare to fly

For you have become a butterfly

Fly abandonedly into the sun

If you should return to me

We truly were meant to be

So spread your wings and fly

Butterfly

Spread your wings and prepare to fly

For you have become a butterfly

Fly abandonedly into the sun

If you should return to me

We truly were meant to be

So spread your wings and fly

Butterfly

So flutter through the sky

Butterfly

Spread your wings and fly

Butterfly
