Verse 1:
(Riff 1)
        Sun wakes me up

I think I'm losing everything

I wanna go back to bed 
                        (Riff 2)
I feel much better there 

C
The funny thing is
   G                     (Riff 2)
You look a lot like the devil
                                            (Riff 2)     C  G  A
Isn't it strange how dreams can seem so real


Verse 2:

I shiver too much
                   (Riff 2)
I waste too much, I 
                                    (Riff 2)
My struggle is my shame I can't let go

      C                  
I'm looking for 
     G                (Riff 2)
my simple sense of mind 
                                     C  G  A
I need someone to carry me home  


Chorus:
*A                 *G
(Oh la la la laa oh la la la la la la)
Days        -      go       -       by

    D                                          A
I still wanna know what it's like to be a butterfly

*A                                               *G
(I've been around the world, seen a lot of faces, know a lot of people, 
been to a lot of places)
Days             -               go              -                  by

    D                                          A   (Riff 4)
I still wanna know what it's like to be a butterfly



Verse 3:
                                        (Riff 2)
Tamed by fear and numbed by sleep I wake

My routine life is calling me again

  C
Another day
  G
Another thought gone by
                                    C  G  A  (Riff 3)
I need someone to carry me home
