A
Lord she's restless
      D                                 A
Like cotton candy clouds that sail the day
           D              A
Slow and free and she possesses
   D                                 A                 D
A mind that can't resign itself to stay for long with me

      E7                                   D
So I tried and tried to keep her tied and satisfied
                  A              D
Until she really needs me yes I do
      A                                  E7
But when that certain look comes on her face
            D               A
I can't replace it and she leaves me

Chorus:
         E7                         D
She's a butterfly in mid July who just can't wait to try
               A                   D
Her brand new wings on brand new things
         A                 D               A
And she needs no rhyme or reason when she goes
     E7                               D
Her mind is on what lies beyond that wall of Blue horizon
      A                 D
I suppose and heaven knows
           A             E7                  A
She'll go sailing off on any old wind that blows
         D            A
Yes she will yes she will
                         E7                  A
She'll go sailing off on any old wind that blows

A
I know she needs me
  D                             A
About as much as I need someone else
         D            A
Which I don't and if need be
    D                                A
I swear someday I'll up and leave myself

         D         E7
Which I won't even If she loved another man
D                              A
I'd understand it more than I do
Umh  umh  umh  but I know the only reason
         E7                           A
That she ever has for leaving is she wants to
