INTRO
D G D , Bm G D
VERSE 1
D G D
I had nothing to say on Christmas day
Bm A Em G A
When you threw all your clothes in the snow
D G D
When you burnt your hair, knocked over chairs
Bm G D
I just tried to stay out of your way
D G D
When you fell asleep with blood on your teeth
Bm G D
I got in my car and drove away
CHORUS
D G
Listen to me butterfly
D
There's only so much wine
Bm G
You can drink in one life
D
And it will never be enough
Bm G D
To save you from the bottom of your glass
BRIDGE
D G D , Bm G D
VERSE 2
D G D
Where the state highway starts I stopped my car
Bm A Em G A
I got out and stared up at the stars
D G D
As meteors dived and shot across the sky
Bm G D
I thought of your sad shining eyes
D G D
I came back for my clothes, when the sun finally rose
Bm G D
But you were still passed out on the floor
CHORUS
D G
Listen to me butterfly
D
There's only so much wine
Bm G
You can drink in one life
D
And it will never be enough
Bm G D
To save you from the bottom of your glass
Bm G D (Hold)
