i know that this should be filed under handsome family , but this is how jeff
tweedy plays this song solo . . . enjoy!
verse 1
G C G
i had nothing to say on christmas day
Em D C
when you threw all your clothes in the snow
G C G
when you knocked over chairs and burnt you hair
Em C G
i just tried to stay out of your way
C G
when you fell asleep with blood on your teeth
Em C G
i got in my car and drove away
chorus
C
listen to me butterfly
G
there’s only so much wine
Em C
you can drink in one life
G
and it will never be enough
Em C G
to save you from the bottom of your glass
verse 2
C G
where the state highway starts i stopped my car
Em D C
i got out and stared up at the stars
G C G
as meteors died and shot across the sky
Em C G
i thought of your sad shining eyes
C G
when the sun finally rose i went back for my clothes
Em C G
but you were still passed out on the floor
chorus
C
listen to me butterfly
G
there’s only so much wine
Em C
you can drink in one life
G
and it will never be enough
Em C G
to save you from the bottom of your glass
