Once I loved a butterfly

Don't wonder how, don't ask me why
C G G/F# Em
But I believed what I'd been told
A D
"All things that glitter can't be gold"
F G D Gadd11
Ooooo ooo yeah
G A D Dsus4 D
All things that glitter can't be gold
C G Gadd11 G
Those jealous minds conspired to say
A D Dsus4 D
Just let that creature fly away
C G G/F# Em
How can it be she has it all
A D
Her pride is headed for a fall
F G D Gadd11
Ooooo ooo yeah
G A D Dsus4 D
All things that glitter can't be gold
Bm C
Oh Lord, what races we run
Esus4 E Esus4 E Am Am/G
Seeking our place in the sun
F D C G
Reaching and hoping we'll find the right one
D C G Gadd11 G
Now every day a new joy brings
A D Dsus4 D
My butterfly grew golden wings

It seems we find as we grow old
A* D
Some things that glitter may be gold
F G D Gadd11
Ooooo ooo yeah

Some things that glitter may be gold
E D A Asus4 A
So let us mind what's there to see

Before our hearts become too cold

In spite of all that we've been told

Some things that glitter may be gold

Ooooo ooo yeah

Some things that glitter may be gold

Some things that glitter may be gold
