Ab
You are a splendid butterfly
                               Fm
It is your wings that make you beautiful
                         Eb    Db
And I could make you fly away
                            Ab                    
But I could never make you stay
                               Ab
You said you were in love with me
                              Fm
Both of us know that that's impossible
                             Eb   Db
And I could make you rue the day
                           Ab
But I could never make you stay

[Chorus]
                       Eb    Db
Not for all the tea in China
                           Ab
Not if I could sing like a bird
                      Eb    Db
Not for all North Carolina
                      Ab
Not for all my little words
                         Eb    Db
Not if I could write for you
                           Ab
The sweetest song you ever heard
                            Eb   Db
It doesn't matter what I'll do
                       Ab
Not for all my little words

[Verse 2]
                                Ab
Now that you've made me want to die
                             Fm
You tell me that you're unboyfriendable
                            Eb    Db
And I could make you pay in pain
                           Ab
But I could never make you stay

[Chorus]
                       Eb    Db
Not for all the tea in China
                           Ab
Not if I could sing like a bird
                      Eb    Db
Not for all North Carolina
                      Ab
Not for all my little words
                         Eb    Db
Not if I could write for you
                           Ab
The sweetest song you ever heard
                            Eb   Db
It doesn't matter what I'll do
                       Ab
Not for all my little words
                            Eb   Db
It doesn't matter what I'll do
                       Ab
Not for all my little words
