A              F
I painted your room at midnight,
A           F
So I'd know yesterday was over.
A              F
I put all your books on the top shelf,
C        A#                     C       A#
Even the one with the four leaf clover.
                C       A#
Man I'm getting older.

A               F
I took all your pictures off the wall,
A                       F
And I wrapped them in a newspaper blanket.
A             F                          C
And I haven't slept in what seems like a century.
A#            G#              A#
And now I can barely breathe.

             Am    C           F
Just like the crow chasing the butterfly,
     Am     C           F
Dandilions lost in the summer sky.
            Am              C               F
'Cause when you and I were gettin' high as outer space,
        Dm       F         G
I never thought you would slip away.
        Dm     F      G
I guess I was just a little too late.

A            F
Your words still serenade me,
A            F
Your lullabies won't let me sleep.
C           A#                    C     A#
I've never heard such a haunting melody,
         C          A#
oh it's killing me.
               Fm             A#
You know I can barely breathe.

             Am    C           F
Just like the crow chasing the butterfly,
     Am     C           F
Dandilions lost in the summer sky.
            Am              C               F
'Cause when you and I were gettin' high as outer space,
        Dm       F         G
I never thought you would slip away.
        Dm     F      G
I guess I was just a little too late.
