Christina Perri - Butterfly

Hi there! I'm loving this song (big surprise!)
***THIS IS EASY TO PLAY!!! I had some questions
about some chords I was unsure of and UG user
P_Trik helped out with actual names (who knew the
Gm/F chord does not exist??)
 
Here's a link to the song, play along-
 
 
 
**The chords look scary but the shapes are easy:)
 
EADGBe
C9/Fm [200210]
Csus [3x0010] or [xx0010]- which could be another chord all together :/
Fmaj7/A [x03210] - mistakenly known as an Gm/F, which I've learned does not
exist. (Read comments below, Thanks P_Trik)
 
(I've got it tabbed too, check it out.)

Intro-
Gm Csus C9/Fm Fmaj7/G
 
 
 
GmYou're a pretty butterfly and
CsusYou keep on passing by
C9/FmYou never land inside my hands
Fmaj7/GYour home is in the sky
GmAnd there's a lesson waiting to be learned
CsusThe fire starters always get the best
C9/FmAnd the good guys never get the girl
Fmaj7/GAnd shooting stars cannot fix the world
 
 
FAnd I've made the same mistakes
G C Fmaj7/GBut I won't this time
G C Fmaj7/GNo I won't this time
 
 
 
Gm Csus C9/Fm Fmaj7/G
 
 
 
GmAnd you're a pretty butterfly
CsusAnd I believed all your lies
C9/FmBlinded by your sideways smile
Fmaj7/GAnd kindness in your eyes
GmBut there's a limit to your flight
CsusI can offer you a better life
C9/FmBut you keep on flying from the light
Fmaj7/GAnd I've lost my faith in wrong and right
 
 
FAnd I've made the same mistakes
G C Fmaj7/GBut I won't this time
G C Fmaj7/G Csus Fmaj7/G CsusNo I won't this time
 
 
 
GI know exactly what you'll Do
GmI made damn sure I studied you
Fmaj7/GYou won't pick me I Am just a breeze
CUnderneath your wings
GSo I pray each night you'll change your mind
GmAnd maybe I Am worth the fight
Fmaj7/GBut I Am wrong every time
C G Gm Fmaj7/G CYou only know how to fly
 
 
G GmYou only know how to fly, whoa oh
Fmaj7/G -once (C* G* -you can play these chords if you want but
You only, know how to, fly really there are no chords here.)
 
 
 
Have fun and RATE :)
