[Verse]
      Em         G     D
I had nothing to say on Christmas day
         C              Am7            B7
When you threw all your clothes in the snow
         Em         G             D
When you burnt your hair, and you knocked over chairs
       C             B7          Em
I just tried to stay out of your way


[Chorus]
             G                 D
But when you fell asleep, With blood on your teeth,
       C         Am7            B7
I just got in my car and drove away
          G         D
Listen to me, butterfly
                 C    B7      Em
You know there's only so much wine
             C            G
That you can drink in one life
            C        B7
But it will never be enough
            Am
To save you from
    B7             Em
The bottom of your glass

[Verse 2]
          Em            G      D
Where the state highway starts, I stopped my car
      C      Am7             B7
I get out to stare up at the stars
       Em      G
And as meteors died
    D
And shot across the sky
       C                  B7          Em
I just thought about your sad shining eyes


[Chorus 2]
            G                                 D
But when I went back for my clothes, when the sun finally rose
        C              Am7                B7
Oh, and you were still passed out on the floor
          G         D
Listen to me, butterfly, no
                 C    B7      Em
You know there's only so much wine
             C            G
That you can drink in one life
            D        B7
But it will never be enough
            Am
To save you from
    B7             Em
The bottom of your glass
