I Box Up All The Butterflies Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

E A7M D A E

EI find it difficult to

DRelax Ain the Esummertime

EWith all the flowers in bloom

I Dcreep acAross the Ecountryside

EWith my net and my bait

And a Dpocket Afull of Eveil and twine

EI break the promises I made

As I Dbox up Aall the Ebutterflies

I rC♯muin everything

As I F♯msit in a field of grass

In the C♯mspring, listening

To the F♯mbeat of its little heart

To its C♯mwings, struggling

For F♯mair under an upturned glass

And I put a C♯mpin through its wings

And I F♯mbottle it F♯mup

I F♯mbox it F♯mup

And F♯mbury it F♯min my Eheart

E A7M D A E

EJust as I know my friends

I Dalso Aknow my Eenemies

EAre the birds and the bees

And my Down little AinsecEurities

EI creep around in the dark

And I Dtear up Aall the Edandelions

EAnd I break my own heart

As I Dbox up Aall the Ebutterflies

TirelessC♯mly following

Its F♯mtiny butterfly tracks

Across the C♯mfield, in the spring

With a F♯mplastic carrier bag

Full of C♯mfish, hooks and string

I F♯mlay a little matchbox trap

And I put C♯mpins through its wings

And I F♯mbottle it F♯mup

I F♯mbox it F♯mup

And F♯mbury it F♯min my Eheart

E A7M D A E

E A E E A A E E

I Afolded up its furry A7Mwings

And Aopened up its little A7Mheart

It Amight sound stupid but F♯msomething aF♯mbout it Dmade me wanna Apull it Eapart

E A7M D A E E E E

I rC♯muin everything

As I F♯msit in a field of grass

In the C♯mspring, listening

To the F♯mbeat of its little heart

To its C♯mwings, struggling

For F♯mair under an upturned glass

And I put a C♯mpin through its wings

And I F♯mbottle it F♯mup

I F♯mbox it F♯mup

And F♯mbury it F♯min my Eheart
