Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

E A7M D A E

EI find it difficult to

DRelax Ain the Esummertime

EWith all the flowers in bloom

 I Dcreep acAross the Ecountryside

EWith my net and my bait

 And a Dpocket Afull of Eveil and twine

EI break the promises I made

 As I Dbox up Aall the Ebutterflies

 I rC♯muin everything

 As I F♯msit in a field of grass

 In the C♯mspring, listening

 To the F♯mbeat of its little heart

 To its C♯mwings, struggling

 For F♯mair under an upturned glass

 And I put a C♯mpin through its wings

 And I F♯mbottle it F♯mup

 I F♯mbox it F♯mup

 And F♯mbury it F♯min my Eheart

E A7M D A E

EJust as I know my friends

 I Dalso Aknow my Eenemies

EAre the birds and the bees

 And my Down little AinsecEurities

EI creep around in the dark

 And I Dtear up Aall the Edandelions

EAnd I break my own heart

 As I Dbox up Aall the Ebutterflies

 TirelessC♯mly following

 Its F♯mtiny butterfly tracks

 Across the C♯mfield, in the spring

 With a F♯mplastic carrier bag

 Full of C♯mfish, hooks and string

 I F♯mlay a little matchbox trap

 And I put C♯mpins through its wings

 And I F♯mbottle it F♯mup

 I F♯mbox it F♯mup

 And F♯mbury it F♯min my Eheart

E A7M D A E

 And Aopened up its little A7Mheart

 It Amight sound stupid but F♯msomething aF♯mbout it Dmade me wanna Apull it Eapart

 I rC♯muin everything

 As I F♯msit in a field of grass

 In the C♯mspring, listening

 To the F♯mbeat of its little heart

 To its C♯mwings, struggling

 For F♯mair under an upturned glass

 And I put a C♯mpin through its wings

 And I F♯mbottle it F♯mup

 I F♯mbox it F♯mup
