Audio: Butterflies (song)
#1
I wrote this song this last night after watching the movie Juno again, which features many songs similar to this one. I thought I'd post it here:




Lyrics: 

One Halloween we went trick or treating,
you were a butterfly, and I was a freak.
I dyed my hair purple, and you were a monarch
that floated above me, and made my knees weak.

It's morning time, I should be sleeping
but there are butterflies that shake me awake.
They're in my stomach, and in your garden
that's where I see you when my dreams break.

Chords if you want to play it:

Capo 2nd fret (chords relative to capo at 2nd fret so C is actually D):

C, G
C, G
F, C
G, C

Wjames, it's very cute! Makes me wish I could play guitar? I used to be a drummer, but that's no help. Juno was a great movie, too.....good stuff to inspire (-:

Thanks for sharing. I love it.

the skeleton jangles in its perfunctory sleeve....
