I know that this should be filed under Handsome Family, but this is how Jeff
Tweedy plays this song solo... Enjoy!
VERSE 1
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
