Butterfly
Mariah Carey

Intro: A F#m C G A 

D                                    E             
When you love someone so deeply
 A
They become your life
     D               E                              A         A7
It's easy to succumb overwhelming fears inside
  D           E
Blindly I imagined I could
A                       F#m
Keep you under glass
             D
Now I understand to hold you
          E
I must open my hand
And watch you rise

   A                                    
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
       F#m
For you have become a butterfly
 C                  G                A
Fly abandonedly into the sun
    A                                  F#m
If you should return to me
   
We truly were meant to be
      C                               G       
So spread your wings and fly
         A
Butterfly

I have learned that beauty
Has to flourish in the light
Wild horses ride unbridled
Or their spirit dies
You have given me the courage
To be all that I can
And truly feel your heart will
Lead you back to me when you're
Ready to land

Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly

    F#m                            Bm
I can't pretend these tears
                 A
Aren't overflowing steadily
   F#m                  Bm
I can't prevent this hurt from
            A
Almost overtaking me
F  C          G                       D
But I will stand and say goodbye
        G
For you'll never be mine
E
Until you know the way it feels to fly

Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly

Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly
So flutter through the sky
Butterfly
Spread your wings and fly
Butterfly
