Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Am][G][Am][F][G][Am][F][Am][C]
[Am][F][Am][F]
[Am]
[C]It started out with butterflies

[Verse 1]
[Am]On a velvet af[Dm]ternoon
[Am][F][Am]
[C]With flashing eyes and promises
[Am]Caught and held too soon[Dm]
[Am][F][Am]
[C]In a place called Ixea
With [Am]it's [Dm]pumpkin oval m[Am]oon[F][Am]
[C]It started out so nice
[F][Am][F][Am]

[Verse 2]
[C]Genji taught Orion
Sea-purple harmony
[Dm]harmony
[F]Whi[Am]le Ko[F]gi[Am] hide[C] secrets
into sea[F]shells[Am]
[C]And even the ocean laughed
Be[A]neath that celesti[Am]al canopy[F]
[Am]'Cause it started

[Verse 3]
[C]out
so nice
[Am][F][Am][G]

[Verse 4]
[Am]With the dust of stars they
intermingled
Durock of Avon would only jingle
[C]Marble money [F]tunes
[Am]As pale earthly [F]circles [Am]swooned
[C][F][Am]

[Verse 5]
[C]Volume left Bohemia,
a [Am]triangle for his [F]thum[Am]b
[C]Questions fell but no one stopped
to [Am]listen[F][Am]
[C]That eternity was just a dawn away
And the rest [F]was sure [Am]to come[F][Am]
Leaves caught [C]in winter's
ice
[Am][F][Am][G]

[Verse 6]
[Am]Abandoned circus grounds
of flower cap[F]tains
Prisms in a palm one way it happens
[Dm]The [C]air was silver calm
[F]The softly met were slowly
moving [Am]on[C]
[Am][F]

[Verse 7]
[Am]
[Bb]Then all things in commo[D]n
[G]suddenly grew [Dm]strange[G]
[Am]Now the Wurs were chas[F]ing
other rainbow[Am]s
Trying to [F]find where the wind [C]blows
To empty corners,
pas[F]t dusty [Am]memor[F]ies[C]
[F]

[Verse 8]
[Am]
[C]Now in the third [G]millenni[C]um,
the crowded [Dm]madness [Am]came
[C]Crooked shadows
roamed through the nights
The wizard[Am]s overplayed their names
[C]And after that the Wurs never
bothered
To have [A]summer reas[Am]on s [F]again,
But it started [C]out [F]so nice[Am]
It [F]started [C]out so [Am]nice[F]
We started out so nice.
[C]
