Verse 1:
(Riff 1)
Sun wakes me up
I think I'm losing everything
I wanna go back to bed
(Riff 2)
I feel much better there

The funny thing is
G (Riff 2)
You look a lot like the devil
(Riff 2) C G A
Isn't it strange how dreams can seem so real
Verse 2:
I shiver too much
(Riff 2)
I waste too much, I
(Riff 2)
My struggle is my shame I can't let go
C
I'm looking for
G (Riff 2)
my simple sense of mind
C G A
I need someone to carry me home
Chorus:
*A *G
(Oh la la la laa oh la la la la la la)
Days - go - by
D A
I still wanna know what it's like to be a butterfly
*A *G
(I've been around the world, seen a lot of faces, know a lot of people,
been to a lot of places)
Days - go - by
D A (Riff 4)
I still wanna know what it's like to be a butterfly
Verse 3:

Tamed by fear and numbed by sleep I wake
My routine life is calling me again

Another thought gone by
