VERSE 1:
(G) (C) (G)
You are a splendid butterfly
(Em) (Em/Cmaj7) (Em)
It is your wings that make you beautiful
(D) (C)
And I could make you fly away
(G) (C) (G)
But I could never make you stay
(G) (C) (G)
You said you were in love with me
(Em) (Em/Cmaj7) (Em)
Both of us know that that's impossible
(D) (C)
And I could make you rue the day
(G) (C) (G)
But I could never make you stay
CHORUS:
(D) (C)
Not for all the tea in China
(G)
Not if I could sing like a bird
(D) (C)
Not for all North Carolina
(G)
Not for all my little words
(D) (C)
Not if I could write for you
(G)
The sweetest song you ever heard
(D) (C)
It doesn't matter what I'll do
(G) (C) (G)
Not for all my little words
VERSE 2 (tablature the same as verse 1)
Now that you've made me want to die
You tell me that you're unboyfriendable
And I could make you pay and pay
But I could never make you stay
