G                    C               G
I had nothing to say on Christmas day
          Em             D                  C
When you threw all your clothes in the snow
           G                C                  G
When you knocked over chairs and burnt you hair
        Em        C                  G
I just tried to stay out of your way
                             C                G
When you fell asleep with blood on your teeth
             Em   C           G
I got in my car and drove away

CHORUS
                       C
Listen to me butterfly
                         G
There's only so much wine
         Em              C
You can drink in one life
                           G
And it will never be enough
             Em         C                G
To save you from the bottom of your glass

VERSE 2
                               C               G
Where the state highway starts I stopped my car
           Em         D             C
I got out and stared up at the stars
G                C                     G
As meteors died and shot across the sky
          Em        C              G
I thought of your sad shining eyes
                           C                        G
When the sun finally rose I went back for my clothes
               Em      C                  G
But you were still passed out on the floor 

CHORUS
                       C
Listen to me butterfly
                         G
There's only so much wine
         Em              C
You can drink in one life
                           G
And it will never be enough
             Em         C                G
To save you from the bottom of your glass
