Intro F Fmaj7  F  Fmaj7 F Fmaj7

Verse 1

F       Fmaj7  Gm    C
You might wake up some morning.
    Gm        C
To the sound of something moving
      F      Fmaj7
past your window in the wind.
F       Gm       C
And if you're quick enough to rise
         Gm
you'll catch the fleeting glimpse
  C        F   Fmaj7
of someone's fading shadow.

Verse 2

F     Fmaj7 Gm   C     Gm
Out on the new  horizon, you may see
       C
the floating motions of a
F        Fmaj7 F
distant pair of wings.
      Gm          C
And if the sleep has left your ears
        Gm
you might hear footsteps running
C        F   Fmaj7 F
through an open meadow.

Chorus 1

Fmaj7  Gm    C
Don't be concerned,
      F    Fmaj7
it will not harm you.
     Gm      C
It's only me pursuing something
  F      Fmaj7
I'm not sure of.
     Gm   C        F   Fmaj7
Across my dreams,  with nets of wonder.
    Gm
I chase the bright elusive
 C       F Fmaj7 F Fmaj7 F Fmaj7
butterfly of love.

Verse 3

F       Fmaj7  Gm    C
You might have heard my footsteps.
   Gm       C
Echo softly in the distance through
  F        Fmaj7 F
the canyons of your mind.
       Gm        C
I might have even called your name
     Gm       C
as I ran searching after something
  F     Fmaj7
to believe in.

Verse 4

F       Fmaj7  Gm   C
You might have seen me running.
      Gm       C
Through the long abandoned ruins of
  F         Fmaj7 F
the dreams you left behind.
    Gm         C
If you remember something there
      Gm
that glided past you followed
C        F    Fmaj7 F Fmaj7
close by heavy breathing.

Chorus 2

     Gm    C
Don't be concerned,
      F    Fmaj7
it will not harm you.
     Gm      C
It's only me pursuing something
     F   Fmaj7
I'm not sure of.
     Gm   C       F   Fmaj7
Across my dreams, with nets of wonder.
      Gm
I chase the bright elusive
C       F   Fmaj7 F Fmaj7
butterfly of loveeee.
