Butterfly

VERSE 1
C         Am     C         Am
I've been a worm since I was born
     C  Am            C        Am
But I'll change before I die
F      G            F           G
Someday soon I'll come out of this cocoon
F              G   C       
And turn into a butterfly

VERSE 2
Grandpa drank mash and talked that trash
Died in a coal mine blast
Daddy smoked crack talked straight smack
Got a cap popped in his ass

VERSE 3
Daddy died and momma cried
On the shoulders of other men
I stayed home all alone
Played with my imaginary friends

BRIDGE
F                                                 
They're pretty good guys who like to get high
   C
It helped to stop the pain
F
One quick blast makes your heart beat so fast
       D                        G
You feel the blood boiling in your veins

VERSE 4
My buddy Vernon loved his bourbon
And everything else that burned
My girl Ophelia only drank tequila 
Her favorite part was the worm

VERSE 5
We were playing by the tractor with an old firecracker
And a can of gasoline
There was one quick blast that burned all the grass
Brightest thing that I had ever seen

VERSE 6
I saw my grandpappy flying behind my daddy
They picked me up where I fell down
The field was burning Ophelia and Vernon
Slithered back into the ground

VERSE 7           
Momma came running I tried to yell something
But my mouth couldn't form the words
She didn't see me up there so high in the air  
With all the butterflies and the birds
