(Verse 1)
(C)Innocence doesn't last for long
But what-(Em)ever don't kill you makes you strong
(C)Night is always darkest right be-(F)fore the dawn (Fm)
So (C)you can let down your armor guard gotta
(C) Make room for who you are
The (C7)calloused hands that had held on to your heart (F)
Gotta (Fm)be pulled apart
(C) Like reflections on white powder snow
Your (C)light was always bound to (C7)be shown
There's a (C7)beauty in your eyes
It's a (F)wonder to behold (Fm)

(Chorus)
Butterfly, (C) you will (G)see
You're so much (Am)stronger than you think you are
You (F)just have to believe (Fm)
You can fly, (C) mend your (E7)wings
Any (Am)moment you can free yourself
And (F)fly out of the (Fm)darkness, butterfly (C)

(Verse 2)
(C)Every branch broke on your family tree, you know you're
(Cmaj7) Better than what they couldn't be
(C7)You don't have to practice any-(F)thing that they preach (Fm)
(C)Those that don't matter often mind
And those that (C)mind don't matter
(C)Don't you pass them by (C7)(Don't you pass them by)
Oh you'll (F)learn in time (You'll (Fm)learn in time)
(C) Like reflections on white powder snow
Your (C)light was always bound to (C7)be shown
There's a (C7)beauty in your eyes
It's a (F)wonder to behold (Fm)

(Chorus)
Butterfly, (C) you will (G)see
You're so much (Am)stronger than you think you are
You (F)just have to believe (G)
You can fly, (C) mend your (E7)wings
Any (Am)moment you can free yourself
And (F)fly out of the (Fm)darkness, butterfly (C) (Butterrfly)

(Bridge)
(Em) There'll be times (There'll be times)
When your (F)faith is gone (When your faith is gone)
Give it (C)one more day (one more day)
Keep (G)holding on (Keep holding (E)on)
(Am) Oh, it's not what they say
It's what (Bb)you believe
That's gonna (F)break the chains
Changing you to what you're (Em)gonna be (A)

(Chorus)
(D)Butterfly, (A)now you see
You're so much (Bm)stronger than you think you are
(G)Now that you be-(A)lieve
You can fly (D) (You can fly), spread your (Gb)wings (Spread your wings)
And in the (Bm)moment you will (A)free yourself
(G)Fly out of the (Gm)darkness, butterfly (Butterfly) (D)
(G)Fly out of the darkness (Gm)
