G#                          Cm
I see flowers through the window
              A#                    G#
I don't know why they remind me of you
G#                    Cm
'Cause your color is yellow
                A#                         G#
And that's the song that we played when we moved

         G#
Said goodbye back in May
            Cm
Thought by now I'd safe
         A#                     G#
Then it hits me, right out the blue
       G#                  Cm
Every face that I see, a reminder to me
          A#
What I'd lost when I lost you

Chorus:
      G#                       Cm
Baby, I've ghosted your number
                          A#
We slept on the other side
                       G#
But no matter what I do
                         G#
I still get these butterflies
                            Cm
I've hidden all the pictures
                                A#
I've tried stayin' out all night
                       G#
But no matter what I do
                         G#
I still get these butterflies

I get drunk, I feel lonely
Try to drown all the noise in my mind
Hmm, hmm
But alcohol doesn't hold me
The way you did, the way you would
When you were mine

Said goodbye back in May
And all the memories we made
They still hit me right out the blue
Every kiss on the street, a reminder to me
What I lost when I lost you

Chorus

       Cm        A#      G#
For you, for you, for you
                         G#
I still get these butterflies
       Cm        A#      G#
For you, for you, for you
                       G#
I still get these, hmm-hmm, hmm
   Cm           A#
Butterflies, alright
        G#
I still get these butterflies (Oh yeah)

Chorus:
I've ghosted your number (Number)
I've slept on the other side
But no matter what I do
I still get these butterflies
I've hidden all the pictures (Pictures)
I've tried staying out all night
But no matter what I do
I still get these butterflies (Oh)

For you, for you, for you (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I still get these butterflies
For you, for you, for you
