No Capo
[Verse 1]
G Em
They don't even see me Everything I could be
C
Burning right beneath my chest
G
It doesn't mean that I'm weak
Em C
I just need to set free The voices in my head
D
They tell me, I'll never be anything,anything
G Em
I feel so unsteady, people stepping on me
C
Crushed in colors on the ground
G
Fighting back the tears
Em
from hearing “no” for years
C
Released my fears and get shut down
D
They tell me, I can't make a sound.
[Chorus]
G Em
But I will sing with this unused voice
C
I will laugh like I have no choice,
D
I will fly and forget to fall.
G Em
I will spread my un-opened wings
C
I will strum every dead heart string
D
I will rise above it all.
C G
'Cause that's how butterflies get to be strong
C
'Cause that’s how butterflies get to be.
[Verse 2]
G
Somedays I will just breathe,
Em
Butterflies inside me,
C
fighting through my stomach
G
I'm broken on the surface,
Em
People say I'm worthless,
C
But I will learn to love it.
D G
They tell me, I'll never be anything
[Chorus]
G Em
But I will sing with this unused voice
C
I will laugh like I have no choice,
D
I will fly and forget to fall.
G Em
I will spread my un-opened wings
C
I will strum every dead heart string
D
I will rise above it all.
C G
'Cause that's how butterflies get to be strong
G
Still working on my wings
C
Still working on my wings
G
Still working on my wings
D
Still working on my wings
D
Still working on my wings
G
Still working on my wings
C
Still working on my wings
G
Still working on my wings
D
Still working on my wings
D
Still working on my wings
[Chorus]
G Em
But I will sing with this unused voice
C
I will laugh like I have no choice,
D
I will fly and forget to fall.
G Em
I will spread my un-opened wings
C
I will strum every dead heart string
D
I will rise above it all.
C G
'Cause thats how butterflies get to be strong
Em C
'Cause thats how butterflies get to be strong
Em D
'Cause thats how butterflies get to be strong
C G
'Cause thats how butterflies get to be strong
