she watches a darkness creeping up about half past eight
Am Em7 Am Em7
she sits by the weeping willow says that she can relate
Am Em7 Am Em7
she dreams of someday getting out of this place
Am Em7 Am Em7
she says she's never felt at home even in her own face

I know it won't be long
Am C
till you turn into a butterfly
G D

Am Em7 Am Em7
Am Em7 Am Em7
she dreams of puppies and those wings that look like parachutes
Am Em7 Am Em7
she dreams of waterfalls that sweep your feet from under you
Am Em7 Am Em7
she finds her comfort inside bedtime stories and fairy tales
Am Em7 Am Em7
anything with a happy ending she says it can never fail
