Verse 1:
(G)     (Em)          (C)
Yesterday I went outside
       (D)              (G) 
With my momma's mason jar
           (Em)            (Fill)
Caught a lovely butterfly
(G)     (Em)       (C)
When I woke up today
(D)                    (G)
Looked in on my fairy pet
    (Em)         (C)      (Fill) 
She had withered all away
                       (D)   
No more sighing in her breast
Chorus:
(D)                    (G)
I'm sorry for what I did
      (Em)          (C)   
I did what my body told me to
    (D)             (G)
I didn't mean to do you harm
      (G7)             (C)           (D)
Everytime I pin down what I think I want
(G) (Fill)
It slips away - the ghost
        (C)
slips away
Verse 2
 (G)         (Em)            (C)
I smell you on my hand for days
          (D)             (G)
I can't wash away your scent
          (Em)                  (Fill)
If I'm a dog then you're a bitch
(G)      (Em)              (C)
I guess you're as real as me
(C)                   (D)
Maybe I can live with that
   (Em)               (C)
Maybe I need fantasies
(Fill)                   (D)
A life of chasing butterfly
--Chorus--
Verse 3:
(G)        (Em)        (C)
I told you I would return
           (D)              (G)
When the robin makes his nest
(G)          (Em)           (C)
But I ain't never coming back
(G)          (Em)           (C)
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
