Lyrics

Intro: (fiddle over) g / c / d / d (twice)

G c g c g
She walks through the field, walks in the heat through the field
G c g c d
She swings with her arm, but can what she catches be real
Em c em c
And when you look into her eyes, you see what you want
C bm c bm c d
When everything was undone, every field was open nothing was impossible yet
G bm c g c g
For the kid with the butterfly net the kid with the butterfly net. (intro once)

There's a stream runs through this land runs through the heart of this land
There's a heart beats in this home beats in the heart of this home
And when you see her by the water you see what you want to
And all the chains around you cannot keep you prisoner they haven't been made yet
For the kid with the butterfly net the kid with the butterfly net. (intro)

Bridge
Em c em c
And when you close your eyes you don't see a thing
Em c c d
You just remember that you were meant to have wings
G bm c g c g
For the kid with the butterfly net the kid with the butterfly net

She runs through the field runs through the grass in the field
She swings with her arm but can what she catches be real
And when you look into her eyes you see what what you want to
C bm c bm
And all the darkness in you flies out through the window
All the sunlight outside burns down inside you
All the chains around you could not keep you prisoner
C d g bm c
They haven't been forged yet for the kid with the butterfly net
G bm c g bm c
For the kid with the butterfly net for the kid with the butterfly net
G c g
The kid with the butterfly net. (repeat intro)
D g
The kid with the butterfly net. (fiddle over) g / c / d / d (3 times)
