[Verse 1]
G C G
You are a splendid butterfly
Em C/B Em
It is your wings that make you beautiful
D C
And I could make you fly away
G C G
But I could never make you stay
G C G
You said you were in love with me
Em C/B Em
Both of us know that that's impossible
D C
And I could make you rue the day
G C G
But I could never make you stay
[Chorus]
D C
Not for all the tea in China
G
Not if I could sing like a bird
D C
Not for all North Carolina
G
Not for all my little words
D C
Not if I could write for you
G
The sweetest song you ever heard
D C
It doesn't matter what I'll do
G C G
Not for all my little words

Now that you've made me want to die
Em C/B Em
You tell me that you're unboyfriendable
D C
And I could make you pay and pay
G C G
But I could never make you stay
[Chorus]
D C
Not for all the tea in China
G
Not if I could sing like a bird
D C
Not for all North Carolina
G
Not for all my little words
D C
Not if I could write for you
G
The sweetest song you ever heard
D C
It doesn't matter what I'll do
G C G
Not for all my little words
D C
It doesn't matter what I'll do
G C G
Not for all my little words
