Intro F  Fmaj7   F   Fmaj7  F

F                      Gm       C
You might wake up some morning.
        Gm                C   
To the sound of something moving 
            F           Fmaj7
past your window in the wind.
F              Gm             C
And if you're quick enough to rise
                 Gm
you'll catch the fleeting glimpse 
    C               F     Fmaj7
of someone's fading shadow.
F          Fmaj7 Gm     C         Gm
Out on the new   horizon, you may see
             C
the floating motions of a 
F               Fmaj7  F
distant pair of wings.
           Gm                   C
And if the sleep has left your ears
               Gm
you might hear footsteps running 
C                F      Fmaj7  F
through an open meadow.
FMaj7    Gm       C
Don't be concerned, 
            F        Fmaj7
it will not harm you.
          Gm           C
It's only me pursuing something 
    F           Fmaj7  
I'm not sure of.
          Gm     C               F      Fmaj7
Across my dreams,   with nets of wonder.
        Gm
I chase the bright elusive 
 C             F  Fmaj7  F  Fmaj7  F Fmaj7    
butterfly of love. 
F              Fmaj7    Gm        C
You might have heard my footsteps. 
     Gm             C
Echo softly in the distance through 
    F               Fmaj7  F
the canyons of your mind.
             Gm               C
I might have even called your name
         Gm              C
as I ran searching after something 
   F          Fmaj7
to believe in.
F              Fmaj7   Gm     C
You might have seen me running. 
            Gm              C
Through the long abandoned ruins of 
    F                  Fmaj7  F
the dreams you left behind.
       Gm                  C
If you remember something there
            Gm
that glided past you followed 
C               F        Fmaj7  F  Fmaj7  
close by heavy breathing.
         Gm        C
Don't be concerned, 
            F        Fmaj7
it will not harm you.
          Gm           C
It's only me pursuing something 
         F      Fmaj7
I'm not sure of.
          Gm     C              F      Fmaj7
Across my dreams,  with nets of wonder.
            Gm
I chase the bright elusive 
C              F      Fmaj7  F  Fmaj7
butterfly of loveeee.
            F                  ( you can alternate Fmaj7)
I chase the butterfly of love.

I chase the butterfly of loveee.
