Broken Butterflies Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]You[Gsus4][Dm][G][Dm][C][G][Dm]
[Gsus4][Dm][Gsus4][C][G][Dm]
[C][G][Gsus4][Dm][C]
[Csus4]wear your[C] anger well and stand
For [G]all the world to see
[C]A h[Dm]eavy cloak and one gloved hand
And [C]no [Csus4]humility[C]

[Verse 2]
[C]You stand inside the garden
And [G]feast on black cherries
And [Dm]swallow the manna from heaven
And [C]spit out the seeds

[Verse 3]
You [C]spread your anger
on sharp-edged knives
knives
Cut [G]my skin and make it bleed
Like [Dm]pi late in his self
righteousness
You're a [C]traitor and a thief

[Verse 4]
[C]Choking on your unplanned words
[G]Coughing up your lies
[Dm]Tumbling from your mouth a flurry
[C]Of broken butterflies

[Interlude 1]
[C][G]
[Dm][C][Csus4][F]

[Verse 5]
But the [C]blood that flows I cannot hide
That blood that cov[G]ers [C]me
[Dm]Nourishes the butterflies
And they are [C]healed and
are set [Csus4]free[C]

[Verse 6]
[C]I wish you had what Ruth possessed
But then I [G]don't expect that of you
[Dm]Grace and honor and faithful[G]ness
And the [C]love that you [Dm]refuse
[C]Wil[G]l you

[Verse 7]
[C]ever learn to just forgive
Will you [G]open your beautiful eyes
And [Dm]bleed the way Christ did
And fix [C]the broken butterflies

[Outro 1]
[G][Dm][C]
[Dm][C][Dm][C]
