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